As a DO student what are the consequences of failing the USMLE? Is it absolutely positively necessary to report your scores? Thanks!

Even if it is not mandatory, what will you do if you are interviewing for a residency position (allopathic obviously) and you are asked if you took it? Will you lie?

From what I understand, you have to report on ERAS that you took it, but do NOT have to report the score.

That being said, I imagine that it wouldn't be very good during an interview to have a PD ask you why you took it, but never reported the score. Might look a little shady...Just my opinion.
