Hi all, I am an IMG, applied to 60 peds. programs no IV calls yet ( I don't have my ecfmg certificate yet, that may be the reason), other than that good scores in step 1 and ck. I really want to start my residency in 2009 (will be certified by MATCH time), should I apply to some preliminary year programs? are my chances better with preliminary, or is it too late by now?
please advise.
Thanks
