Hello,
I am a non US citizen from Israel and am now doing my internship year.
I am interested in doing my residency in the US in one of the Ivy League hospitals (Hopkins, Columbia, Harvard etc.).
My USMLE 1 & 2 scores are 246 and 258 respectively. I haven't taken the 2cs yet.
I am very interested to start in the next year, but it seems it is too late to apply.
Do I have any chace, in general, to get in ?
Do I have any options, regarding the coming year, such as, a late application ?
Do positions vacate during the yer as people fing it is not to their liking ?
May I address the hospitals directly and not via the electronic system ?
I would also like to know how are my grades considered - I know they are in the 99th precentile, but I must admit that in cmparison to other students in Israel I am only avarage + (I will, however, be able to supply some good recommandations).
Thanks in advance
EJ
