taking step 2 late august, does this affect me?
Looking to test 8/20. With the score turn around time of 2-3 weeks, I should be good for getting everything in for eras on time right?

N = 1, but even with the information that's posted by USMLE and all that stuff, my buddy took Step 2 on June 28th and got their score back yesterday or the day before (said person texted me immediately after they got it), so that's only a 2-3 week turnaround, I guess it really depends on how efficient they are at establishing a curve based on everybody that took it and what not.

I want to say you should be ok for eras but may cut it close.

If you have a great step 1 / rest of app, it won’t matter quite as much. But if your step 2 is the best part of your app and it isn’t available when programs can start seeing your info, you can easily fuck yourself. Most programs send out the bulk of their IIs very quickly and many of them will want to see your step 2. Would very very strongly recommend having that score on file by the time programs can offer you an II

I was told end of July was the cut off. Scores from July on take extended time to come back

That only applies to exams taken from June 29th to late July. If I'm taking in late August, I should be able to get my score back before the eras release date on Sept 28th I think?
You’re correct. If you took it in late July, probably not getting a score until mid September. After that the turnaround is 2-3 weeks.
It says on the link June 29-Late July will get the m August 10th
Good news and I stand corrected!
Maybe, just relaying what my school told us
