Poor CK performance, need scores for prelims, what to do?

Took the CK, got a crappy score >20 pts lower than step 1, now one of the prelims emailed me asking for the score for CS and CK. I emailed them back my scores, but did not resend via ERAS yet. ERAS only has the option to send to all the programs you apply to, so now I'm afraid that it will impact my ranking for the Rads programs if I resend for the sake of the prelims. Should I:

1. resend the scores to everyone via ERAS
2. Email my prelims with the scores now
3. Wait for prelims that ask for the scores, and then email those that ask for it

#2.

1. why?
3. they might forget/not care to remind you, would be your loss.

I think that's the best too, thanks.

People told me on interview trail " who cares about CK??"

Some prelims care. A few explicitly told us we could email them the reports if we dont want to push them to everyone on ERAS.
Unless your step 2 is a solid pro for you application, idk why you would push to every program.

A prelim program asked me for cs score report. That seems to be a lack of confidence. Therefore I plan to rank them last.

Unless there was something about you to make them doubt you (FMG), it might just have been their policy.

I don't understand why people rank programs lower because they think the program doesn't want them. Do people just want to be wanted? Or is it a misunderstanding of the Match algorithm? I'm sure UCSF looked at my application and thought I was a dumb***.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't have ranked them #1 if I got the chance.
