Thoughts on taking USMLE Step 2

[DOstudent421]

I'm hoping to match AOA GS - Step 1 USMLE didn't go too well, COMLEX 1 was fine and it looks like COMLEX 2 will be better than COMLEX 1 according to 2 COMSAEs. Should I still consider taking USMLE step 2? I took UWA1 and scored 221.

side note: I already have 6 scheduled away auditions (3 in MI, 1 in AZ, 1 in NJ, 1 in OH)

If you aren't anticipating on applying to any of the ACGME surgery programs, then I suspect taking Step 2 would not be beneficial for you.
