hey buddy , just calm down .i know you are feeling low , but just improve your profile with more LORs and USCE ....... and do well on step 2 ....... it is definitely doable ... not just to pacify u , but really possible with the above things ..... so get going hard on step 2.....

Far too early to say anything then. What's your visa status? And taking CK in august-probably won't be ECFMG certified by September 1st I take it?

When you have done all the above and got your LoRs, come back and post in the Internal Medicine What Are My Chances thread to get an idea of where you stand and what you should be aiming for.
