Hi i am a IMG from india.
I have cleared step1 with 78 score.
Also, taken and passed my step2 cs

i wanted to make it somehow to 2006 year, and rushed my step2ck in just 1 month...and i just came to know that i have flunked my step2ck!! sad

I have already applied to all universities, which is all waste now....and also, anyways, i had got no interview call till date!! sad

Apart from this, i am also currently alongside doing my Master's in Psychology from a california university....plus....i have one month clinical experience of working in the american red cross. i have worked in the reference lab under the guidance of Dr. George Garratty (Scientific Director of whole Sourthern California Blood Bank services; and Clinical professor of Pathology at USC , LA) Here, i got a chance to actually perform first hand HLA Typing, Phenotyping, Antibody screens, Cross matching, MMA etc.

MY question now is....DO YOU THINK I STAND ANY CHANCE IN TWO DAYS MATCH SCRAMBLE?? ( i canot tk my step2ck again until april i guess sad will any univ consider me in scramble without it?? )

ALSO, I HAVE ALREADY FILLED MY CAF FORM, I THINK I CAN ADD NEW LORS FROM MY CURRENT RED CROSS PLACE,... BUT HOW CAN I CHANGE MY CAF FORM TO ADD MY NEW EXTRA EXPERIENCES??

ALSO ANY OTHER DETAIL FOR MATCH SCRAMBLE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
A DEPRESSED DOC sad

i am not sure but i believe u need ur score in by march 13 or 15 for the scramble. there is also what i call post-post match but it is rare. i know a friend who got it but he had 90/99 1st attempt w/ observership. my advice is do an observership, research and get atleast 200 in step 2 if not more.

i an in this match and i have yet taken step 2. i feel it was wise to make sure i am ready before taking it. i have 85 1st attempt on step 1 and I have 4 interviews in psych (i only applied in pscyh.) ia am a US IMG with a us lor and i am published (assistant editor for a prev cardio book) and have done some informal shadowing and research.



b4 u take step 2 again take all 3 nbmes. u should get atleast 450 i feel to cover up ur attempt. also do UW and kaplan qbank both and do all the kaplan videos.
