I heard from some students ahead of me that programs can choose not to put you on their rank order list if they don't have a Step 2 PE score in by like sometime in January. I'm not able to register for the exam for 3 more weeks, and the dates are already filled up through next October, so I'm starting to panic a little. Does anyone know if this ROL stuff is true? If I can't take the PE till December and don't get my score back till sometime in January, is it a possible a program may choose not to rank me due to not seeing my score?
 
Can't speak about DO match, but in MD match I've heard of this happening.
Programs can choose whatever criteria they want.
For some schools, not passing, means you can't graduate.

The only way to find out is to contact specific programs and ask directly.

Most programs want you to have it by the time you start residency as you cannot graduate without passing PE ( at least in my school). I know for a fact that programs will rank people without the PE score in as a lot of my friends have matched without PE score in by end of jan. As always i suggest to contact programs you interviewed at directly. It takes same amount of time to write an email as to write a message here. At least you will know for sure 100% rather then getting some speculating answers.

Good luck:luck:
