OMS-2 here. I feel really confident on my abilities generally. I have always been a below-average standardized test taker, however. I think I have a uniquely good relationship with a dean who is an OBGYN and I am confident I can get good letters from him and on my rotations in a few months. My research is coming along 4-5 pubs/projects by graduation. Really strong, longitudinal volunteer experience and my interview skills are strong. I’m not trying to toot my horn, rather give better context.
I am considering taking only step 2 in addition to comlex level 1 and 2 (obviously) and I’m wondering if any new OBG interns/residents/anyone with insider knowledge may know if this would be seriously detrimental? I don’t THINK id fail but honestly, I don’t want to take the chance on step 1. my top choice residency is 50+ DO. I have identified several other programs I’ll apply to that are also DO friendly. I know that doesn’t mean they dont want step1.
any info appreciated.
