hi,
I'm an IMG, without a green card, this year i finished my USMLE Step 1 exam with a score of 190/77 (2nd attempt), i have no USCE, but i do have some research work in my country. I'm doing my Step 2 next year and I'm graduating on the 5th December, 2007. I'm 23yrs old.
I want to do General Surgery as my residency, i have good LORs in General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and OB/GYN. My general surgery rotation was run by a US Medical Graduate from NY. Plus my grades during each rotation ranges from A (mostly in General Surgery) and B's for the Other specialties.
I need to know what are my chances of getting into a General Surgery residency in NYfor the 2009 match. I know it's a competitive field but it has been a passion for me since I have been minor surgeries and assisting with major ones.
Thanks
