Step 2 Impact?

Programs look at the following when deciding on interviews

Most Important:
-Step I

Still Important:
-AOA?
-Step II (is it higher than Step I?)
-Clerkship grades (compared to your classmates)

Of variable importance depending on the program:
-Research
-Your region / potential ties to the program (like did you do undergraduate there? do you have family there? did you do an away there? etc)
-"Your Pedigree" in terms of medical school ranking and undergraduate ranking

Less Important:
-Everything else




After getting an interview programs look at the following:
-How normal you are / how well do you interview
-Your demonstrated interest in their program
-Some combination of the above


In summary, yes it matters but obviously its not a deal breaker. Its just another part of the equation.
