So as a non carib IMG who is dead set on doing psychiatry the recent competitiveness in the field is starting to scare me. And to top that off my Step 1 score is nothing to write home about (215-220).
I will be applying to psych in this years match, I will be applying to every single program in the country that takes IMGs. I will be done with CK by the time apps go out & hoping to get >240. My CV reflects that I am very passionate about psych (EC's, volunteer work etc). I have 3 US LORs, 2 of them are Psych. One is a Sub-I, LOR from PD of a community program.
I am terrified of not matching. Should I be applying to IM as back up, or am I worrying too much?
