I'm a 4th yr med student at a Caribbean med school. I have all USA clinicals; US MD letters of rec; Step 1 = 226 (92); Step 2 CS Pass. I was about a B-average student, in the upper third of my class ranking.

HOWEVER I'm taking CK in Mid-Nov -- and thus my Step 2 CK results won't come out until mid-Dec!!!

I haven't applied yet as I was under the impression that most programs wouldn't invite me for an interview without the Step 2 score, but now I'm rethinking that thought and am going to apply... but my documents won't be uploaded to ERAS until early NOVEMBER.

Please, anyone, give me some advice!

-- Will I get invited for an interview if I am an FMG without Step 2??
-- Do most places fill their interview slots by December?
-- Do programs even look at applications completed (Step 2CK scores arriving) just a few days before their application deadlines??
-- Are there any programs you would suggest?

Thank you SO MUCH!!!
