Members don't see this ad.

I am an IMG from Caribbean. Graduated in may 2015. I am applying for Family residency and have not heard any IV from programs except rejections (>10). My stats are:

Step 1 - 220
Step 2 CK - 206
Step 2 CK - 220 in second time
Step 2 CS - Passed first time
ECFMG Certified, US Citizen, 3 Case Posters, No research

Am i going to get any interviews with above stats? or match?? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you

NObody can answer if you will or will not get IV but judging from your stats it doesn't look so great esp. with a step 2 CK failure. Not trying to knock you down while you're down but there are several IMGs (look through the forums) with much better stats than you that haven't gotten any interviews (or very few). Unless you did an audition rotation at a program I don't think you will get alot of IV.

Is there anything that stands out from your CV that makes you unique and would give you an invite (i.e. research, 3rd world medicine, global medicine trips, interesting projects) Also if you graduated in 2015 what have you been doing clinically this year? I would be nervous to choose someone as a PD who has been out of hte loop for one year. I'm not a PD so take my advice for what it is.
