I'm a 4th year IMG and my ERAS application is (I think) okay. My board scores are okay but not great: 228 for Step 1 and 233 for Step 2. I have a fair number of extracurriculars, no research, high passed all my 3rd year clerkships and have strong letters from my home program. I'm also in the middle of completing 2 electives and 2 sub-is in the US. However, my application is not currently complete since I am waiting on a US LoR and won't be complete until early October.
I'm planning to practice in international/underserved area and really want to match into a rigorous program with intense OB, hospital and procedure training. I've started to wonder if I might have a better chance of getting a spot in one of those residencies after completing a TY and reapplying with all US letters, and more stateside experience. I haven't heard of many people doing this for FM and was wondering if anyone here had thoughts or experience with this?
Thanks for any help!
