Due to various reasons, I have to push my step 2 CK to mid october, or even end of october. I originally scheduled it for sep 25th but can't keep that date.

I only passed all MS1, MS2, MS3. Did get a high pass on EM AI. I want to match into EM. My step 1 score is average (225).

I am freaking out because i've just read learned that step 2 ck is required for interviews. Is that true? I thought it's only required before rank list. Am I completely screwed?

Can someone tell me which EM program does not require step 2 ck, and which does (so I can cross it off my list)?

Thanks so much.

I don't think it's required for interviews. Almost always required for ranking you after interviews. Having said that, I am also considering postponing to get a better score. I'm not sure, but it might help to get interviews at competitive places if you show significant improvement in your Step 2cK as compared to Step 1.
