Hi I am also in a similar situation as nishant365. Here are my credentials: 77(2nd attempt)/78, ECFMG certified, US citizen, currently doing research work, looking for USCE, currently volunteering at university hospital for 5 months already. no US LORs yet but plan to get from work and if i get USCE. Interested in IM/FP. Step 3 plan to take by August or September. How can I improve my chances???

Thanks

mary - i replied to ur im

nishant u have extremely strong usce.. but rock bottom scores.. my advice is to use ur contacts and ask them to call the places ur interested in.. u will also have to personally call and email every program u apply as in im most probably ur goin to be filtered out.. so u have to make them look at the strong points in ur cv..

apply to as many places as u can and keep a 50-50 im/fp split. apply to mostly out of the way places with j1 or small comm places with h1..
