HELP-when should I take my Step 2CK?

[blaire003]

Sorry if this question has been asked multiple times-I would like to take my Step 2 CK at the end of October (because I would like to use the first 3 months of my fourth year to do rotations and get letters) Will waiting this long delay me getting invites for interviews since my score likely wouldn't be back until early December? I am applying for IM, but I'm not shooting for anything top tier or super competitve- just hoping to land a middle tier spot at a university affiliated hospital. I scored at the national mean for step 1, so I'm assuming that I would perform at about the same level on Step 2 (although I'm defintiely shooting higher). Thanks for any advice!
