Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arch Guillotti" data-source="post: 8460091" data-attributes="member: 6330">When I was on the interview trail, a number of PD's told me that taking the USMLE was the best decision I ever made.  If you don't take it you will be shutting yourself out of what is likely a small number of programs but who knows, it may be the program you are really wanting to go to.  At this point you want to try and keep all options open.I faced the same dilemma a few years back.  I scored well on the COMLEX (>80% IIRC).  I didn't do so hot on USMLE Step I though (200).  This SUCKED.  In my case, doing well on the COMLEX was not a guarantee for doing well on the USMLE.I bit the bullet for Step II, and improved over 40 points.  because of this, I got some interviews at some places I NEVER would have expected (even those with a supposed Step I "cutoff").So my advice is to take it.</blockquote>
