Hi,
I am an IMG and I need advice from people here who are involved in the residency selection process. I graduated in 2013 and since then I applied a few times with no luck. I tried in different specialties and got some interviews but did not match. I have been doing research since I graduated. currently I applied to medical school in the US (DO school) and got accepted to start this summer. Do you think investing the time and money in a DO school would allow me to match in a competitive residency given that I have already given my USMLE exams (1-3) and I cannot change my scores? Would programs be interested in an applicant like me?
About me:
YOG: 2013
Step 1: 231
Step 2 CK: 225
Step 2CS: pass (2nd attempt)
Step 3: 215
4 months of US clinical experience as a medical student
>4 years of research experience
Publications (peer-reviewed and posters): >25
Thank you in advance
