When I submitted my application I checked the box to not automatically submit my usmle scores. However my step 2 CS and CK scores recently came back. So I resubmitted my usmle transcript the day my step 2 CS came back. A day after, my CK score came and I once again resubmitted my usmle transcript. How can I be sure that the programs will get both scores? Thank you

Hello!
I realize that it's a little late in the game to be asking this, but I have a question about doing a medicine sub-i.

I am applying to very competitive internal medicine programs and I have a strong academic record, including honors in all of my clinical courses. This year, I was unable to schedule a general medicine wards sub-internship but I completed an ICU sub-internship and 2 medicine electives.

I was wondering if competitive programs will look at my medical ICU sub-internship as equivalent to a wards sub-i. Is it worth giving up a month of vacation to complete a wards sub-i this November?

Thank you!

MICU trumps wards in my book.

An ICU Sub I, with a nice LOR, should be fine. Make sure that your med school considers this sufficient for graduation -- would be really embarrassing to discover that you don't meet grad requirements late in the game.
