Or can I save the $80 COMLEX processing fee that ERAS charges. I'm not applying to any former AOA programs.
How do you prove that you will graduate medical school?
If you have both scores people won’t care if COMLEX is lower for the most part. What are your score breakdowns?I wish there were a sneaky workaround where your school can put scores on your MSPE
You're being silly. $80 is a drop in the bucket.
Under the terms of the NRMP Match Agreement, programs could argue that you're committing a Match violation by not submitting your COMLEX results. The Match Agreement for Applicants (section 6.3) states:Or can I save the $80 COMLEX processing fee that ERAS charges. I'm not applying to any former AOA programs.
Applicants who submit incomplete, misleading, false, or plagiarized information may be deemed to have violated this Agreement. The omission of any information pertinent to a program’s decision to rank an applicant may be deemed a violation of this Agreement. The applicant is responsible for disclosing any information regarding, among other things, the ability to satisfy program requirements; circumstances that may delay or adversely impact an applicant’s ability to commence training with a matched program on the program’s start date; or information relevant to licensure status or visa status.
Under the terms of the NRMP Match Agreement, programs could argue that you're committing a Match violation by not submitting your COMLEX results. The Match Agreement for Applicants (section 6.3) states:
A program could reasonably argue that by not submitting COMLEX results, you're withholding information that they would consider pertinent to how they might rank you.
ERAS does not require DO students to disclose USMLE scores, but the NRMP takes a different view. There is a theoretical risk that a program that discovered that a DO applicant that they matched had withheld USMLE scores could successfully ask NRMP to invalidate the match on the basis that the applicant did not disclose the scores. At that point, it's likely more effort than it's worth for the program, but the risk exists under the terms of the Match agreement.DO students already don't have to submit USMLE scores
So I have a lower COMLEX Level 2 score. I have been doing well on Step 2 practice exams and am planning to rely on my Step 2 scores. Do I even need to assign my COMLEX scores to programs? If they see my lower Level 2 score will that affect me negatively if I have a high Step 2 score?
You'll make it back as an attendingThank you everyone for giving me a reality check. I will bite the bullet and pay the $80.
Programs will view you as incomplete without a COMLEX score, your app won’t even be looked atSo I have a lower COMLEX Level 2 score.
