Didn't do so hot on Comlex 1

I ended up getting a 500 on the COMLEX, didn't take Step. I'm pretty shocked since I walked out feeling confident and even got a 510 on the COMSAE the day before. Should I be worried about not matching even if I do better on Comlex 2 and have decent evals without any red flags on my app?

That's barely below the mean. I wouldn't sweat it.

Thanks for the response! I was under the impression that the mean for Comlex was 520 according to the match data. I'd like to believe it was lower though haha

That's the mean for those matching psych, not the national mean. Just work hard on the rest of your app (rotations, shelf exams, LORs) and apply smart when the match comes. At this point there's nothing you can do about your score, so don't dwell on it.
