The Numbers, Step 1 July 20, 2007

I PASSED USMLE STEP 1!!!!!!

As promised, I decided to post how I did along the way so that potential applicants could see how I progressed.  I know I read stuff like this when I was tryin to gauge how I was doing.  I have not posted my actual final Step 1 score yet since so many people know who I am personally, and I don’t want this to turn into a competition.  But I’ll eventually post my score after it’s all said and done and I’ve matched.  I will say I progressed upward and ”no complaints” though about my score! Update: I’ve matched… so I posted my score below.
