Filters and USMLE attempts

Hi.
Very worried about how this can affect my standing with programs in terms of getting an interview:

I applied for my Step 1 in my final med. school year but because of last minute changes in my clerkship schedule I couldn't take it and my eligibility period expired. This means I didn't even schedule the test with prometric, I simply let the elegibility period expire. I reapplied and took it, passed with 250+. My USMLE transcript states only one date for my Step 1, my score and "passed" on it.


How will this be seen by program directors and coordinators ?
Do programs get the same transcript we get ?
How will filters pick this up ? Will a filter pick it up as two Step 1 attempts and automatically discard my application ?

Very concerned how this will affect my chances of matching. Not even that, my chances of even getting interviews !!!

Thanks and good luck to all.

They only see actual attempts, not registrations. You'll be fine.
