Sure u have a shot. Finish CK & CS by Oct 2007 (if not try for next match). & try to get some USCE in Psychiatry.

1.USCE in psych requirements are different for different programs, but in most programs it is not required just preferred.
2.Regardless of your CS date, u should apply on September 1 via ERAS.

yes, you do have a shot. Try to score as high as possible in S2CK & CS; try to take them as early as possible (score is more important than the date, though). Also, if you are not a greencard holder, beware of the fact that you need to also pass S3 in order to get into the Match.

U r right S3 is for h1b & is not a requirement..... having said that having S3 is a big +..
I would rate it as.... 1. Scores. 1. USCE in Psych (in ur case ur psych exp. eventhough not US.. will help u). 3. is S3,
