Which is important before sept 1st? - examusmle

[ArchivalUser]

Hey guys,

I would like to ask which one is at most important that we MUST finish before 1st September?

Is it USMLE steps (I finished step 1 and step 2 CS Already) or the residency application submission?

I feel that I will lag behind in any one of them by at least 15 days.

That is, either I can take my step 2 CK on 15th September if I need to do the paper works
on time for the Application process before 1st September, OR I should study full swing for
step 2 CK and take the exam in August end and then delay the application process for another
15days before submitting. I am planning to apply for Psychiatry, and i am still in the process of
requesting for LOR. Hopefully will get it uploaded to ERAS via electronic submission directly
by the LOR writers.

I would like to know which one is a better risk. I tried to work out a time table for step 2 CK and it seems
to be doable in 6 weeks' time, taking into account of progress made so far. If I know about the
time dead line, I'll be able to fit my schedule accordingly.
