Programs requiring Step 2 for interview

[anon]

Does anybody know of any top programs requiring Step 2 before interview invitations? Did fairly well on Step 1 and was advised that Step 2 was not a priority over getting sub-Is done and apps completed. Just don't want to be applying somewhere that will auto-reject my application because I haven't taken Step 2.

UCSF used to, I imagine more now with p/f step 1

I would get it done, more programs are going to be looking at Step 2 these days. Given how it’s going to take the place of Step 1, programs will specifically look to see how applicants are doing on it. If u don’t take it, they’ll know what ur trying to do.

As someone who did exceptionally well on both, just do it. Trust me, if u know ur stuff, and Step 1 wasn’t just a fluke , you’ll do well.
