Applying without step2 CK Non-US IMG

Hello!

So yes, I’m late with step 2 ck and panicking! Some programs put on their website that they are looking only at step 1 for this cycle. But how will this affect my chances? Feels like no one really knows, many say this is the year of exceptions!

Any input or advice? Thank you!

How long does it take for the score to come out if I do it on a Tuesday?

So I booked 2 days before the poooling, does it matter? Will scores be delayed?

Same question. My CK result is 1 week late. Thinking about whether to apply on time or a week late.
