How late are ya'll taking Step 2? If I'm not ready now and postpone till Jan, will programs look down on this? Will they rank you w/o your Step 2 score?

Best of luck on all your studying, interviews and on Step 2!!
 
I took mine on Jan. 30th last year and that was only b/c my med school required us to take it by Jan. 31 and I wanted an extra day for scheduling in case there was a problem. I know lots of people who took it in March and April. If you have crap Step 1 scores you should take it earlier, otherwise, nobody will care.
