Hello all,
How much weight do you all think is placed on your step 1 scores compared to your clinical grades? My step 1 score and for that matter my M1 and M2 grades were a bit below average. I know that low usmle scores knock you out of the running for many specialities/competitive programs and that's fine. However I've gotten honors or high honors in all my clinical rotations and I anticipate having good letters. I would think that that would be more important than test scores but I know that scores are the most objective way to screen applicants. I know it also varies from speciality to speciality but I was wondering what you guys think in general about this.
