You still have a chance, but ur CS results will be bit delayed as u are planning to take it in dec.Try to prepone cs

  #3

not so good chance. Most of community hospitals will review early September. Once all interview slots are full, they won't invite anybody else.

Thanks for your comments doctors.

I'll try to prepone the CS like nithu said and try to apply to this match. If I can't do it for 2008 there's always the year after. I only want to take my exams this year no matter what.

Wish me luck!

your timeline is quite similar to mine last year. yes you can make it. you will have ecfmg cert by february before the rank order list deadline and that is good.

like bbb says, go ahead and apply. centers that are keen about you will call you to interview without all results. the step 1 is usually the most important so aim for 99.

all te best.

hi Dra.Arciniega i would not advise you wait so long for the step 2 cs i
am from uag also but i went through the international program the better program i would take step 1 then step 2 cs then step 2 ck
and remember you just dont have to take them you have to PASS them most programs wont even look at you if you are not ecfmg certified
