Hey everyone,
So I applied to EM programs with just my Step scores (primarily ACGME programs) as I scored lower on my COMLEX. After talking it out with my friend, I can see why schools would want to see your COMLEX as well in order verify that you'll be graduating as a DO student. I want to maximize my chances of getting interviews and I am unsure on what to do (as there are filters for lower Level 1 scores).

Step 1: 230
Step 2: 225
Level 1: 445
Level 2: 529
PE: Passed

I've released my COMLEX scores to an AOA residency this morning after they sent me an email asking for my Level scores. I was wondering should I continue to send them only upon them requesting or should I just send them in regardless? I choose not to send them initially due to a DO resident at my current audition informing me that he only applied with his Step scores. An internal medicine director also told me to apply with my Step when I told him of my scores. He said if you choose to apply IM and to our program just apply with your step. If it makes any difference I just got an interview this morning at a place I will be auditioning in a month and I just finished booking a date for my interview on the interview broker.

Bro send your COMLEX scores wtf...you didn't fail anything. If you don't send them, PDs are gonna think you did and that you're hiding something. No one cares about COMLEX if you've taken the USMLE.

It doesn't seem like a good idea because to be called a DO you must pass all 3 levels of the COMLEX (Not the USMLE), and your residency must be able to verify that in order to hire you

Also would I have to now inform all my schools that I have uploaded my COMLEX scores? Or would they be able to know?

There was literally a post about this yesterday.

You are a DO. You have to show that you took COMLEX.
