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

You need USCE, you haven't graduated yet so you can apply to externships more easy... Try to do 2 or 3 rotations and work your ass so you get a strong letter of recommendation from each one. Also take your CS and obtain your ECFMG cert before next match season. For now don't worry in your step 1 score.
You don't have much time, so start improving your credentials ASAP

thank you so much for ur kind words, i wonder they ask only for step 1 at the time of applyin for clerkships and would they grant me one when they know my score, more so bcos im an IMG ?
Ive always thought of an academic internal medicine program and now im highly confused about the whole process
