Hey Prader From what I have learnt from this forum and my own web searches, it really would be too late by Mid Dec. At least for great programs and middle tier programs. Waiting for an year, strengthening your profile with USCE and/or research should help you secure a much better spot next year. Good luck though.

if u have a lot of money then do apply. u have good step 1 and step 2 ck will be coming soon too. cs is what is very late in ur case. strong candidate for next year with usce but u have to decide for urself. also don't go by my advice only wait for others too

well my friend. last yr i got my 247 in july. and my ck 236 in dec and cs in jan and certified in jan end. i had around 6 calls. so u can get calls. but i had applied to a 100+ progs and decided to voluntarily wait a yr for a uni h1. same timline - my gc friend is in a big uni prog. we both had no usce or research or even honors in skool so if u dont need a visa - ur still in good shape. if u decide to go for a uni j1 and apply to a ton of places - u cud make it. but remem man 1yr means nothing. i wud rather wait a yr and be back with usce and s3 given and then grab all the good iview calls in sept 2008. whatever u do - may the force be with u.. i know what ur goin thru - i really do. its like knowing ur good enuf but not havin it on paper to prove it to pds. and i know what a painful feeling it is. apurva
