Step 2CK release

Hi Dr. Levine,

I know that this question has been asked numerous times and in various ways so I apologize for the repetition. I just received my step II score (249) and am quite happy with it, but it is lower than my step I score(259). I know this is a good score, but am wondering if releasing it will in any way hurt my application (for which my step I score is certainly the highlight, as I am not AOA/numberous publications/etc). The dreaded "don't release a step II score lower than your step I score" is the only thing preventing me from releasing it at this point, but my impression is that I should just release it to make my file complete. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care.

249 on Step 2 should be released of course.

Thank you very much Dr. Levine. It certainly seemed like the obvious answer, but I think we all begin to start doubting our common sense a bit around this time of the application cycle. Take care.

No worries - my pleasure.

Good luck --
