Hi Guys,

My scores are step1 75/step2 80/Cs passed, all first attempt.
i finished all the steps in 6 months coz i had read abt the 5 yrs cut-off criteria and I graduated in 2002,
I have 6-8 months research exp in the US, 2 months observership and ongoing and 2 US lors.

I know what chances I stand with all gr8 scores and recent graduates around,but i was wondering ....if they will atleast open my application or will it directly be filtered. I have applied to 60 peds and already have 10 rejections....SCARY for me.
