MS-4 Regional school in the southeast. Step 1: 236 Step 2: 258 AOA: No 3rd year clinicals:(we don't do the honor/hp/p) A's: Surgery, FMED, PEDS, OBGYN, B's: Med, psych, neuro A's on home ortho rotation and away rotations x2. Research: Published from undergrad (organic synthesis). EMED published (thought I wanted to do EMED as a MS-1). Ortho have two papers trying to get published. My real question is how much does a higher step 2 score help with a lower step 1 score? I understand about the screening process, but will a screener be more liberal with it if the step 2 is higher? Thanks guys.
