Hey ya'll!
I haven't taken Step 1 yet, but I am willing to take it sometime during 3rd year if necessary. I am confident that I want to do either FM or Peds. I currently go to a DO school in the south, but I would love to match somewhere in the NE to close the distance with my fiancé. I have 1 red flag - I failed a course by <0.5 points during first year (my grandfather was in the hospital and I couldn't concentrate). As a result, I had to repeat the first semester of medical school. Other than that, I do not have any other red flags. I am in the bottom half of my class. Do you think it is necessary for me to take Step 1, or can I match geographically with just a Comlex of 543?
