So I got my CK score back, and I'm not sure what to do. My UWSA avg was in the 260s but I ended up scoring 242-246 (for sake of anonymity). FWIW, my step 1 was 250-255, and while not a huge drop in score, it's a pretty big drop in percentile. Now I have a choice to make...release it now or wait until after interview season. I am applying IM and know CK is important relative to other specialties.
Choice 1: Release score now.
Pro: receive invites from programs that want CK before an interview.
Con: potentially miss out on interviews from top programs after they see my drop.
Choice 2: Wait until after interview season.
Pro: receive invites from top programs that only need to see my Step 1.
Con: potentially miss out on interviews from programs that want CK before interview.
I know my score isn't bad per se, it's just average...but it is a significant drop from my Step 1...still not sure what to do here...
