If DocTan was here I would actually want to ask how his credential was.

We already know that getting an amazing USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores will boost our chances of matching into a residency program.

Furthermore, having a USCE will place you in a better position than those who does not have one, although it is quite possible to match even without USCE.

USMLE
US clinical experience.. --> US Physician LOR

so other than wonderful USMLE scores and an amazing LOR from a great physician etc, what else do we need in order to be competitive for matching? Can anyone give me some insights especially those who graduated and matched?

Thanks
