Is there anyone here who currently submit ERAS with Step 1 score only (step 2 CS and step 2 CK will take in Dec)?

You run the risk of not getting a good number of interviews. However, if you have a GREAT step one score - you might be okay.

Good luck

Thank you BBB,

I have another question.

If one fails to be matched this year, then he/she applies for next year in the same program, Do PDs remember him/her and refuse to review his/her application?

I applied with step 1 scores last year and got 5 interviews in psych. However my step 2 score came out in mid feb near the ROL deadline. i knew my score was too late for a pre-match. but i had no luck in the match and am reapplying. this time i gained 3-4 months of externship and 2 months of observership with research, etc. my goal is to get 25-30 interviews.
