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.
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.
