It’s (Semi) Official!

My hands are shaking so much it's hard to type. Just on a whim, I checked OASIS to see if there was any news on my Step I score. Turns out it was mailed yesterday (so I should have it in plenty of time to start rotations). With my heart pounding, I tried the "OASIS trick" where you try and register to take Step I again, and I got this message:

Our records indicate that you have already passed this Step or Step Component or the equivalent NBMEŽ Part. The USMLE Policy on Reexamination generally does not allow applicants to retake a Step or Step Component if they have already passed that Step or Step Component or the equivalent NBME Part.

While I won't know my actual score until I receive the score report in the mail, I really don't care what it is right now: all that matters is that miraculously I seem to have passed. :-) :-) :-)

Nice job, Carsten.. ! well done… So, Methodist, huh?
its probably a better learning experience in Brooklyn anyways, compared to a rich suburb in New Jersey. You’ll get more hands on training…

Anyways.. enjoy your 8 days (according to your countdown timer). The real fun is about to start…

That’s great! Congrats!

So when are they sending you your actual scores??

Carsten Says:

For me it took 3 weeks, but for some people it’s up to 6 weeks. And I really did pass :-)
