CS dilemma

Reply with quote

I got 99 in step 1 but floundered in step 2 cs. not yet done with step 2 ck. I will be shortly doing my masters thesis with healthy human subjects. Not patients. Do you have any idea about how my attempt in CS will affect my resume. And also will my work with human subjects will be of any help. Wink

Thanks

Fred.

Try to get a good score in step 2 Ck. Since you have very good score in step1 and if you get similar score in step 2 CK< I don't think CS attempt would matter much. Also, other factors do play a significant role like visa status, year of graduation, US experience etc. Doing a thesis for your master's may not help much since it does not involve patient care. Clinical experience through externship or observership is the preferred method to gain more interviews and a seat.
