Sorry if this has been asked before, but is a passing Step 2 CS required before programs will rank you? I'm scheduled to take it in December, but now I have an interview on that day and want to reschedule my test. The only open dates (right now) are late Jan - Feb, and my school is giving me a hard time about rescheduling CS that late because my score won't be in by the time ROL go out. I know CK is required by (most?) programs prior to ROL, but what about CS?

Don't think so. Source: classmate who didn't take it until like february, still matched.

I just watched a presentation given my the NRMP and in one of the slides they had survey data from program directors...

As far as the Step 2 CS I believe a majority 55-68%.. something along those lines, did require step 2 in order to be ranked.

What I got from that is, take it so as not to be shut out of any program.

futuredoc13,

You are referring to all programs, regardless of specialty, correct? I'm not so sure that this holds true for ortho.
