Hi,
I'm a DO student applying for the match this cycle:

My USMLE scores were OK (225/240) whereas my comlex scores were not as good (500/500). I am not applying AOA. Should I just withhold my COMLEX scores from programs? Will this affect my chances in any way?

Thanks!

I don't think it would matter much if you released your COMLEX scores. Most allopathic programs don't know how to interpret them. Even if they did, they would probably go more from your USMLE scores just because it is easier for them to compare.

Your comlex scores are not bad. I would just release them so they see you passed them. Otherwise they may think you are hiding something.

If you are a DO candidate, won't they know you took the COMLEX?
