Forced to take level 2 PE COMLEX in early June, maybe JULY?

[phagocytosis41]

Will this have implications as impacting my residency applications? I was going to take level 2 PE COMLEX in 2 weeks but with COVID it was delayed. I see the grades will arrive before that, but still wondering if PEs are delayed till July and my PE result doesn't arrive till September. Would that affect my residency chances since I want to do Psych and thats competitive and I need to improve much chances as much as possible. Thanks.

No. In fact, I’d argue you should wait to take it at a time that your results come back right after you submit your apps (in this case if the September dates are after you submit apps). That way you have wiggle room in case you fail. IMO, it’s the perfect time frame.

And psych isn’t competitive. It’s selective, there’s a difference.

You’ll be fine.

COMLEX PE can be waived for the DO21's but will still be necessary for licensure.
