Step II Step 2 CK release for rank list?

[Anti-PD1]

Rank lists are due Feb 21st, which is a Wednesday.

When's the latest I can take Step 2 CK if I want scores to be available by then?

One program on my list requires it. Of course.

Probably the week of Jan 21. They release scores in 3-4 weeks. Is it common to require Step 2 CK for ranking? What specialty is this?

Thanks. Neurosurgery. It's not common, just a handful of programs rocking my boat.

CS is even required for ranking now (by all specialties)

I thought all programs require Step 2 CK just to get an interview? How did you get interviews without having CK scores?
Is it really possible. I'm in the same situation as you, but I didn't get any interviews without CK scores. I had everything else in.

It's very specialty dependant. I'm applying to nsurg.

Are you a US grad?
Because from the information I was given at my med school, everyone should have their scores in by a certain date for the programs to even give an interview including IM and FM programs.

Most (not all) programs don't require CK for interview; they require it for ranking...
