Hi, I'm a 3rd year considering IM, and I'm currently studying for step II. I didn't do very well on Step I, landed in the low 220's, and thus I am freaking out because I know I'll be screened out by a lot of institutions right off the bat. Hence, I started taking Step II studying seriously much earlier (2 Q-banks, OME, Kaplan Anki).
However, I just need to know.. will a high score on Step II (250+) make much of a difference for more competitive programs (Mid-Top to Top Tier) or am I just eternally screwed because of my Step 1 hiccup and the system of judgement that goes along with this whole process?
(Sidenote: I've high passed all my other rotations, trying to Honor this one. Have 4-6 presentations under my belt, working on research now)
