As the title says, I screwed up. My Step 1 was between the 25th to 50th percentile of last year's match, and instead of improving on it, I dropped between 5-10 points on CK. I wish I had a good explanation for it, but as far as I can tell, I just had a bad day at the worst possible time. The rest of my application is average in terms of M3 grades and letters, with a good number of publications.
I guess my question is, should I submit the grade with my application? This would likely limit my interviews to my home program + aways. Not adding it might yield some more interviews, but would probably hurt when it gets released come time for rank lists. Any thoughts?
Post-match day edit: I did not match, ended up receiving 5 interviews from a mix of places. My step 2 score + a lack of strong letters killed me in a competitive year. Be VERY CAUTIOUS if, like me, you had a weak step 1 and decided to go ahead with step 2.
