Hello

i am US Img in my 4th year and applying for radiology. Here are my stats:
Step 1 239/97
Step 2CK 259/99
Cumulative GPA 3.91. Clinical grades all As except one B.
Three LORs (surgery, fp, im) I am currently doing radiology rotation in a program that does not have residency.
Good Dean's Letter.
No research or publications.
Applied to 100 programs, everywhere except CA and TX. Sent the applications out little late (third week of September)

I know my step 1 score is low for a US Img to get in to Radiology but can anyone tell me if I should apply to something else for backup or my application is strong enough to get in to radiology?

Thank you for your help.

what the hell are you worrying about..

he'd have nothing to worry about except he's an IMG.

Can't give you very good advice on that one. My guess is you'll probably get several interviews minimum and be fine on match day.

You may match somewhere in the Caribbean.

Hey I've got similar stats and a US IMG, I think we'll be fine. I have 5 IVs so far and about 5 rejects. Good luck.

i scored like a 360 on step 1 and a 940 on step 2, do you think i will be competitive?

of course you'll be fine. maybe no hopkins or upenn, but who really cares? good luck!🙂

Dude, he's worried cus he's an IMG. They have a steep hill to climb. But I think ur in good shape OP. Just apply to alot of programs, there's like 1000 spots you'll get one 👍
