Okay...just took the COMLEX...probably passed, but I don't think the score is gonna be too impressive. So, I was thinking....I can take the USMLE in a few more months ( = more preparation) and IF I do better (percentage-wise) on the USMLE than on COMLEX, I can co-submit my USMLE score with my COMLEX...the thinking being that allopathic residencies will overlook the COMLEX and focus on the USMLE score (??)

And if I don't do well on the USMLE, I'll just never release those scores. I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this....is this a viable plan? Will my USMLE score "trump" my COMLEX score (if it's better) ??

Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.
