Chances are slim without extensive research. I know that several programs have paid 2yr research positions typically for FMG's that they tend to accept residents from. I know Jefferson has something like 2-3 of those positions.

CCKS is generous. With that board score, and being an FMG your chance is basically 0%, rounded to the nearest whole number of course.
