Im an IMG (permanent resident) that just took the Step1 and i got

221/92 (first attempt) and i am currently preparing for the CK.

But i wonder if i can reach any of the most competitive programns in IM,

or should i forget about that because i am an IMG? if i keep doing well on

the CK, CS do i have the chance?

Please reply and give me some suggestions.... raised eyebrow

I have to be very honest with u. What do u mean by the most competitive programs? And when was ur graduation?

If it's the top 10, even if u score double 260+, u dont get a chance at all, because it's their policy, not saying u r worse than AMG. U ll get iv like I do, but hardly will they rank u.

With ur step1 score, GC status, and assuming u score 250+ in step2, I would say ur best bet would be about around 35th-70th university programs. Make sure u also get some USCE and do some research.

Good luck.
