Hey everyone,
I'm a fourth year DO student with poor board scores. I passed both COMLEX I and II on the first try, but barely did so (passing on comlex is 400).
COMLEX I- 412
COMLEX II- 402
C.S.- Passed
(Didn't take USMLE)
I am a poor test taker, no doubt, but I'm not saying that as an excuse.
I have a ton of volunteer activities, have presented a dozen times, 2 research presentations, stellar LORs and High Honors in all my clinical rotations except for two of them (9/11 rotations were high honors)
Question: I've been offered one interview, which went well, but haven't heard from other programs as of yet. A) Should I go into panic mode? B) How can I make the best of this situation?
P.S. Please keep your comments positive. I hope you'll post useful advice and not use the space to pass judgements.
Thanks!!
