Hi everyone!
I was wondering if I could get some feedback. I am a DO medical student who only took the COMLEX and did not take the USMLE. At this point, I do not plan on taking it either. I was wondering if I would have a decent chance at getting an allopathic anesthesia residency in the 2014 match with only a COMLEX score. My Step 1 score is just over a 600, which is traditionally around the 85th percentile.
I know there are some programs that will no longer accept COMLEX only applicants. But I am not sure how competitive COMLEX only applicants are among program that will consider COMLEX only applicants. Do I have a realistic chance of matching somewhere if I were to apply to a large number of program? Are there some DO friendly programs where it doesnt matter that I do not have a USMLE score?
Thanks for the feedback.
