Hi,
Apologies for being repetitive, overall I have gotten good comments from attendings and residents, but other posts on very good applicants don'ts seem as positive, so I thought I'd just give it a try.
The question is if I have any chance of a categorical GS position, and if you have any advice for the interviews.
Non-US IMG (need visa). YOG 2015.
Step 1: 250. Step 2 CK: 254. CS passed first attempt
1 month US clinical experience, 5 months observerships.
Worked in home country in a clinic for a year, and now midway through a 2-year research fellowship in a big academic center.
Overall, 6 US LORs (4 CT, 2 vascular surgeons). 3 of them are chiefs in academic centers.
I'm doing research in the same place I did my clerkship, so they know me.
5 papers published, 3 submitted, 3 posters and 3 oral presentations.
Applied to 155 programs overall: 95 categorical and 60 preliminary+categorical.
Thank you
