Hi everyone. I could use some help figuring out what to do. I’m a DO student and I got my USMLE and COMLEX scores back this week and dropped significantly from practice tests. UWSA2/NBMEs and my COMSAEs were predicting high 230s and high 600s respectively and I ended up with a 207 and a 481. I have no idea what happened or how I could have prepared any better. I thought I was ready. At this point I’m just hoping to match into any psych program. I’m from the Midwest so any programs there would be great.
I know standard advice is to do better on step 2 but with practice tests not being predictive for me at all this time around, I don’t know how much I can do and I’ve lost confidence.
I’ve been interested in psych since day one so I have a fair amount of ECs to show dedication to the field, but can anyone offer me any other advice or give me an idea of any programs I may be okay to match to?
Thanks everyone!
Tl;dr Boards very low, DO. Hoping to match anywhere. HELP!
