I'm curious about my current Step II schedule. Step 1 went well (265) and I will be applying into internal medicine next year. I really want to get the test out of the way, so I plan on taking it August 23rd of fourth year. With that timing, will my step II score show up in Eras when i submit 9/15? Does this sound reasonable?
Thank you
Step 2 CK usually takes 3 or 4 weeks to return a score after taking it. It is possible that you will get your score back by ERAS submission deadline, but it is also possible that you will get it a week late. You can always re-release your USMLE scores to schools as they update, and plenty of people do this mid-cycle with Step 2 CS or CK. Your Step 1 score is stellar and thus your Step 2 CK score will likely not contribute anything to your application, so even if you do get your scores back prior to submission, it likely won't affect anything. You will just have to make sure all of your Step 2 scores are back and re-released via ERAS prior to ranking (ideally by mid-January at the latest).
