Recently received my step 1 score (27x) and was wondering if I could put off step 2ck even though step 1 results would be a mixed of P/F and scores this year. Currently not doing well on qbanks and wanted to focus my time instead on AIs and research.
Thoughts ?

Delay Step 2 and then ponder what you'll do with all money you'll be making, future Dr. Dermatologist 😉

USMD with 27x you are good to go to apply without Step 2! Im a USDO with mid 250s step 1 and i applied without Step 2 to IM and got plenty of interviews at upper-mid and some top tier IM programs without a Step 2 score. You are a USMD and your score is like 20 points higher than mine you are totally fine

You're a DO student, so I'm assuming that you took Level-2 CE though, right?
