Okay, I need some advice and preferably with a kind tone. I am an IMG that has finished school, have the diploma and am awaiting the ECFMG certificate. I have passed Step 1, 2 CS, and 2 CK all on the first try. My Step 2 CK score was low however and as a result I am not getting any interviews despite applying to many programs. I have been following up on the programs, I have not heard back from, but so far no interviews. I really wanted EM and applied to mostly EM and EM combined programs. When my CK score came back so low, I then applied to FP and OB/GYN programs as well, though far fewer.
Should I start applying to more knowing that the interview slots are already full? wait it out and try in the scramble? If I do not match, will trying to knock out Step 3 help cancel out my low CK score?
