Dear BBB and Apurva Please help me , my scores are step 1 75/182, Step 2 89/219, year of graduation 2003, one year IM residency in India.1 month US observership with an oncologist. i have H4, my spouse has applied for green card so i am looking for H1. i am confused about applying to programs with cut off scores of 80 & 85 .bcoz my step 1 score endangers me to get filtered out in such programs.& there are very few programs just requiring passing score . PLease suggest me what should i do, should i apply to such programs. are they going to filter me due to my step 1 score???
