I just posted on another thread about this. You can withhold releasing USMLE as a DO applicant, but the PD will see something to the effect of "result not released" if you took it vs something like "not applicable" if you didn't take it, so they will assume you failed it anyway. Since everything went P/F this year, we are unsure exactly how it will be shown, but that is likely very similar to the wording they will get and will be consistent with what has been done in the past.If it helps, on the ERAS app if you’re a DO student your USMLE number is optional but your NBOME number is required.
This is not correct. If a DO does not release USMLE in ERAS, it looks exactly the same as if they didn't take it at all.I just posted on another thread about this.

I believe you can, but not 100% sure. Pretty sure at least you can take step 2 without taking step 1Can you take step 2 with a failed step 1?
Yes but you can’t choose which score to release. You either release both or neither.Can you take step 2 with a failed step 1?
