Hi i took a delay to take step but scored a 250...how bad does this look? i took a three month LOA and am an american medical student who suffered family and personal issues at the time of step study block. I am interested in ortho..thanks in advance for the advice!

Probably better if you had bombed it. ...... j/k.

Looks like the LOA did the trick. 3 months is not a big deal to delay and if you graduate on time it will not be noticed.

Not bad in the slightest. Some students at my school delayed their's up to August while others took it in March.

Good to learn it all worked out for you. Cheers!
