Hey all,
So, long story short, was scoring mid 240s-mid 250s on NBMEs and UWSA, I haven't calculated the average but I'd say it was low 250s, got my score back and it's a 232 Step 1, while I knew coming out of the exam I messed up, I definitely didnt envision myself scoring below a 240.
My class rank is ridiculously high and I assume I will do fairly well in 3rd year and on Step 2.
How are my chances in terms of matching EM? Do I even stand a chance at the high end EM programs?
Networking is not my forte, I don't have the personality where I can suck up to people etc. that being said I am very easy to get a long with,im not shy or awkward, just not the type who will constantly smile and nod my head and say "Oh!" while an attending is speaking---so I'm guessing my SLORS will be average.
My Step 1 score is pretty shocking, if you asked anyone in my class who knows me what they think my Step 1 score would be not a single person would say less than 250, so with that in mind I'm assuming my Step 2 CK will be significantly higher.
Should I simply be happy that my Step1 score will allow me to even try for EM or is it still possible for me to be able to match at the elite programs?
