hi friends, i was wondering should i apply with just my step1 score of 88 now or wait for step2 ck score too &apply later in nov? actually i was planning on step2 in oct but thought would apply to programs in sep with just step1 score,later in nov my transcript would be updated automatically,the reason i decided to do so was cause myabe by then all the programs will have decided on whom to call for the interview so it would be too late i read somewhere gc holders/citizens it was ok to apply with just step1 score i will eventaully send in my step2 ck scores too in nov so should i apply now in sep or in nov?by that time i will get my us lor too i am confused people of experience pls let me know sorry if i sound crazy

In the case of my program, if you apply in October, then you will run the risk of not having an interview date available. My first call for interviews usually goes out the first week in October for interviews in mid-November through January. We receive over 2500 applications for 38 spots......
Good luck ___________________ bbb - trying to combine common sense and humour into realistic answers, but not going to guess on anyone's chances of getting into a position....

When a program is getting applications and score reports through ERAS, we don't have a choice of what we download. We received either all the reports for the day or none. I typically download on the PDs computer while he is rounding so that I can work on my workstation. Scores are automatically updated, and there are filters so that you can see scores that are newest.
Programs may prefer both scores at one time, but PDs also know that it's not always possible.
