Hello! This forum has been so helpful, and now I am in need of some advice... I realize the importance of applying as early as possible for the Match 2007, but I have a dilemma regarding exactly that! Since I am taking Step 1 in August, my scores won't be ready til the end of September, and then my Step 2CK and 2CS exams will be taken shortly after.

So- do I submit the rest of the application materials (CAF, LORs, PS...) at the earliest possible moment and just check the "awaiting scores" section for the 3 exams OR do I wait til the end of September when my Step 1 scores arrive and apply then, because then I'll at least have 1 set of scores? So the dilemma is between early submission of materials (but delayed exam scores, so not even Step 1 yet) and submission of the application later with 1 set of scores. Your thoughts? Thanks!

Hello there!

I've asked BBB a similar question last night and here is her reply..

If I were you, I would wait till Step 1 scores arrive in late September and apply immediately after that..

In my own case, though, I am going to apply without waiting for my CS result, because I already have Step 1 score and my Step 2 CK should be available by early Sept. I don't think residencies use CS pass/fail result as a major criterion for interview selection...
