If all steps are done ..step 1 ,electives in the US ,PATHWAY 6, LORS ,OET ,RESEARCH and thinking of uploading on the 29th bit plan to take step 2 later . How will this impact ? Thank you

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Lack of ck score will impact number of interviews but depends on step 1 score and specialty. For example IM could see more impact

[@ponychopra7850]

Recent grad with 231 and 259 ck but a cs attempt should the attempt be mentioned in the PS ? Pls any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Mention it if you can show what your learned from cs failure

How should one address a failure during medical school in their statement ?

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Tell them what you learned from the failure and as a result what improved.
