i am a MS3. i scored low on step 1, but passed. i didn't even break 190.

i need to take step 2 early in order to get into an IM program in NY. but from all the chatter, i realize that i need to take CK and get scores back before i apply in september????

is this correct that i probably need to take step 2 in late july in order to allow for 3-6 wks for the scores to get back before submitting app??

thanks all.

That's what I hear. I hear you want to take the "2" as soon as your last rotation in 3rd yr, whenever that is, so you can get the scores back before applications.
