hello everyone....this is my first post
I am in the last year of training at one of the top medical schools of india
my problem is ive got 78/ 192 on step 1 and 250/ 99 on the step 2-CK
ive got 3 research papers my name and 2 academic conference presentations
can my step 2 compensate for my step 1 score ?
can i get US clinical expereince with this kind of score (heard they only want step 1 score)....and can it solve my problem ?
i was earlier planning for a university based intrenal medicine program (extremely interested in Oncology) .....sincerely advice me on my chances of making it there
i'll be applying next september and was wondering would they even read my application completely after seein my scores
genuine advice needed...even if its shattering

when programs require cut-off scores, like lets say 85, they do not intend a mean of both, but both scores higher than 85. This said, you got a 99 which is great. The issue here is careful program selection, either for programs that offer USCE or for a residency position. Be careful to meet their requirements before applying to a (almost) avoid a certain rejection. if you want to apply next year, try to do some observership/clerkship, research, or to find lors from US physician.
