I am not sure how true this is, but I just heard the other day that many programs will not rank you if you haven't taken STEP 2 CS by the time the ROL is due. Does anyone know if there is truth to this, and it is different with different specialities?
I heard this from some classmates that went to a peds mock interview. The program director basically said that CS is part of your total STEP 2 score and that they will not rank anyone that hasn't taken STEP 2 by the time ROL is due.
The problem is that our school did not mention anything about this and just told us that we needed to take the exam before graduation so many of us did not schedule it until March-April so that we could take it during one of the vacation months.
Thanks!
