Not sure if anyone is in my position but I figured I might ask around and see. I failed step 2 cs and passed on the retake and I am going to apply for fellowship soon. I did very well on the rest of my step exams but I think the step 2 cs attempt will probably filter me from a lot of fellowship programs. Given that the nbme is canceling step 2 cs permanently, I think there is a chance that the nbme may get rid of this exam from the records altogether? I emailed them but haven't heard a reply yet, not sure if they decided on this. If there are others in my position, maybe we can get together and send some kind of petition to the nbme that may help sway them? What do you guys think?
