Hi, im new to the forum and am feeling really down and am looking for some help and advise. I am a US citizen and an IMG from india. I graduated in feb 2005.
USMLE score;
Step 1 82 ( 2nd attempt)
step 2 85 ( 3rd attempt)
CSA passed ( first attempt)
I have three months for an observership
volunteer at a free clinic and childrens hospital once a week
2 LOR from Us indian doctors
Last year I am only got 3 calls when I applied in Nov 2006.
Am I out of the running? Im not sure what to do. Started studying for my step 3 but feel that i might not be ready for it. Can some one guide this lost sole please. I will be so thankful!

You are not out of it till you think you are out. Rather than wasting your time on Step 3 , I would advise getting some more hands on experience and more LORs. Its better to have this experience in a hospital rather than an office.
My 2cents

I think except for ur multiple attempts, you are in a pretty good shape than other IMGs. Just focus on positive things...work on CV and PS.
Apply early and wisely; sort out programs that accept multiple attempts, and work on interview skills.....
Best of Luck!
its my 2 cents!
