Hello Everyone!
So I will be applying to the 2019 match for EM, and wife will be applying to the 2020 match for either FM or IM. I'm a bit concerned since I spent some time on forums and listened to some horror stories. Either way, my wife is a US-IMG at a Big 3 (or 4?) and she took Step 1, struggled a bit to achieve a 210 (first attempt). I was concerned since she was already at a significant disadvantage. I want to know, are there any US-IMG's who matched with similar or worse board scores? She has yet to take Step 2, but I have started to help her a bit with how to study for the boards. I feel super terrible that I did well on Step 1 and she did not. I cant bare the thought of her not matching. Any suggestions, advice, strategies are welcome!
Thanks everyone
I may also delete this post once I get answers, since she frequents SDN every now and again. Don't wanna ruin her day since she may discern that this is about her.
