Succeeding as a prelim intern

sorry for bumping an old thread. I just want an opinion at what my chances are for a categorical position for general surgery if i apply broadly. My problem is similar to the OPs
Currently a 3rd year student. Us-IMG that went to the caribean currently doing clinical rotations in the U.S. scheduled to graduate october 2013
Won't have my ecfmg certificate if i apply in september 2013 for the 2014 match
Will have my ecfmg certiciate if i apply in september 2014 for the 2015 match ( will be 18 months out by the time i start internship if i don't delay graduation)
Step 1 taken- 233
Step 2 CK and CS will take in a few months
Choices
1- graduate in october 2013 and apply for 2014 match without ecfmg certification
2- delay graduation till jan- february 2014(i'm fairly sure the school will let me), then apply in september later that year for the 2015 match with ecfmg certification. During this time I will be studying and taking step 3, and finishing my online MBA and probably doing a couple months observer ship in my home city in wisconsin.
thanks guys
