Looking for advice about, General Surgery Residency. I am an IMG who has US Citizenship (not a caribbean graduate). I have USCE and I have 2 letters from the US for Surgery (one is a Vice Chair). I have one paper about to be published (hopefully) soon, that I did while I was rotating in the US. I have an ok Score on Step I: 238, I am taking Step 2 soon. Do I have a realistic shot at a categorical spot? Should I go preliminary only ? I know everyone in theory has a shot at any given residency no matter what scores and experience you have. But I am looking for more practical advice. THANKS !
