Hello all, this is my first post onto sdn. I am an MS4 at a highly-regarded US medical school and I just found out that I failed Step 2 CS. I took the test in late January and I failed both the ICE and CIS portions of the exam. Honestly, I felt very rusty going in, because I hadn't seen a patient for almost a year (got a masters). Still, I didn't think I would fail because my classmates joked that I would pass since I speak English.
I am worried about the possibility of this affecting where I match for residency. These results came back After rank lists were finalized and locked (February 25th) for both applicants and programs. Is the rank list 100% binding? Could I lose my residency spot somewhere because I failed step 2 CS?
I'm also nervous because my Dean said I cannot graduate without passing Step 2 CS. If I do not pass Step 2 CS in time and thus do not graduate on time, would a residency program be able to revoke my residency spot? I am freaking out and nervous. Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to answer any of my questions/concerns.
