Applying without Step 2!

Many people apply without Step 2 Clinical Skills and Step 3 for residency. So you may not be an alien if you do so, but both are very very useful for application and u have to complete all the other USMLEs(except Step 3) before February...but u can apply to very few programs with only step 1 score...and thus less interview calls! So its always recommended to get all your USMLE scores out of the way!
