Step 3 or not - tulja

[ArchivalUser]

HI all
I am an old graduate --graduated >10 years ago.I have good scores 91,99 and cs passed.I am working in Peds in UK and I want to apply for Peds in USA.
I have applied for step 3 and my application is accepted.I am in a quandary-if i take step 3 in the second week my results will not be available until the first week of september-I want to apply for all programs on the 1st of september
what impact will step 3 have on my application?Should I give it now or not?Or should i just apply without my step 3 scores?
Please reply.

hey tulja,

I'm in the same situation, but will be giving my exam late in sept due to some other obligations.

I would suggest that u should mention in ur application the date when u will be taking ur exam. By the time u apply in sept, u would have already taken ur exam and during interviews u would have ur scores in hand and u can tell them at that time.

Goodluck.
