program step 1 screening was created by gms
I have a question regarding the screening process of diff. programs regarding the USMLE. Will I still be screened out by a program with a STEP 1 score below 215 and a STEP 2 score in the 250s? I am competitive in the pre-clinical and clinical grades and also have research so I would hate for my application to not go through b/c of my STEP 1 score. I know many programs use it to screen but I was not sure if STEP 2 could override the application screen. Also, is there any way to get around this if it does not override it?

Thank you

Replied by on topic i talked to an asst
i talked to an asst pd at a very competitive school and they told me to my face that they just want to see if you can do well on one or the other. To see if you can pass your in service and other boards with no trouble in the future.
