Dear BBB,
I got my usmle step1/2 scores (83/93) last year.Unfortunately,I passed the step2 with a second attempt.I wonder whether the PDs know the fact that I passed it with a second attempt? How it will affect my match in 2005,if so? Does it mean that I am out of the game?

Do I still have the opportunity to find a position as a general surgery residency with this scores?

You are always helpful,BBB.Thank you in advance.I really have a very bad time right now.

Best wishes for you.

Yes, it will show up on your USMLE report. The best way to counteract this is to address it in your personal statement.

Sorry, I don't know about the surgery programs as my experience has all been with internal Medicine

Good luck
