step 2 requirements for rank?

[sdboy]

Does anyone know if any programs require a step 2 score before they rank you?

Mind you I applied in 2002 & things have likely changed since then. But, the program at VA Commonwealth required you to have taken & passed step 2 prior to them even ranking you. In fact, they preferred that you have your step 2s to them prior to your interview or at least have registered to take the exam.

Just an aside, this program was a largely unknown jewel. I applied only due to curiosity & by a recommendation of an anesthesiologist. When I interviewed, I was hihgly impressed with the program, faculty, staff & residents. I ended up ranking it fairly high on my list.
