So just got back step 2 ck and got 2 points lower (227)... is this bad? anyone think this will decrease my chances significantly? the rest of my app is ok. i've got good letters. some research experiences but no pubs...and lot of extracuriculars. and my class rank should be decent. (top third) im not trying to go to johns hopkins...any thoughts on how freaked out i should be and whether i should start looking for a backup? P.S. while my three digit score went down, my 2 digit score went up...What the hell is up with that?
stop freaking out. these posts are really lame. just work hard and do a good job and you'll be fine. 2 points is within the margin of error such that people will basically consider that you got the same score over again. are you going to match in a top program? No. are you viable to match in urology and become a urologist? yes. this question has been answered a million times. enough with the "is my score high enough?" posts. LAME!!!!!!!!!!
a simple no would have sufficed. what are you the forum nazi? thats what there forums are for...for people to ask questions specific to their situation in hopes of getting advice or encouragment from people who may have had simpliar situations....and you still didn't answer the 2 digit vs 3 digit score difference...is a 227 really a 99 this year... and does that mean the testwas harder than usual. I know it wont change anything...just curious...
