What if Step 2 < Step 1 score?

You mean after you've matched? The advice I've heard is that as long as you pass the score does not matter.

Actually I mean before I match ... I want to take my step 2 before I interview b/c I feel I'll do best on it right after my core rotations end this summer. So I'm wondering if it's a bout 10-15 pts less than my Step 1 .. will that negatively reflect on me?

What up,

Step I 233, Step II 212. I matched last year and not once did my scores come up. The closest thing was "I see you did excellent/very well on your boards." If you did well on Step I and you put half an effort into Step II you'll make it a non-issue (even if Step II is lower.)

You can take the deuce early and not post your scores if you don't want to - they ask you on the application if you want to release your scores and you don't have to if you don't want to. On 17 or so interviews I was asked once if I had taken step II and my step I was not ridiculous (238).

i matched and i took step II in august.
step I - 205
step II - 185
i am one lucky sob
