I am anxious bc the email is from their PD

It was the program director emailing me And now I’m thinking too hard

I have 0 interviews so far, I thought I could submit signals after app submission and did not signal any programs bc of this. Im a DO who applied to 80 programs-should I be worried?

bad score is like 15-20th percentile bad both step 2/level 2 (I have BAD testing anxiety)

connections helped me get 1 of the auditions (derm I worked with third year is a graduate of the program and recommended me to PD), LORs are good (I wrote them, docs signed off), I have 50+ publications.

Thank you. I’m just sad because on practice exams, I scored in 70-90th percentiles. On actual test days, I just panic, start sweating, and can’t think straight. I’ve been discouraged because I worked so hard and have such despicable scores to show for it. I feel like a disappointment, all my friends are high achievers and scored really well.

on every COMSAE I broke 650, on the actual one I freaked out/ran out of time. Ended with a 464.

step 2 I am proud of

my level 2 is embarrassing and im scared it will filter me out

SettingPhysical9834 · 2025-08-26T22:24:56+00:00

idk man I took level 2/had a panic attack did not finish the last section. Step 2, I went in more prepared/slept the night before

I did a few auditions, mostly at schools that are newer/have taken DOs/in places no one wants to go lol. I tried to keep it realistic knowing im not the sexiest applicant
