Hello,

My step 2 CK score is lower than my step 1 score. Will programs rank me without a step 2 CK? The ROL has to be sumitted in 2 weeks...any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
UCSF is the only program that I can think of off the top of my head that requires Step 2 CK prior to rank list submission, so I'd say you should be fine not submitting the score, but maybe do a double-check of each program's website just to be sure.

I seem to remember seeing something on Wake Forest's website about not ranking without a Step 2 CK score.
