Hi all Seniors,

Please help me with this.

I am an IMG, here are my credentials- step 1-88, 2-80, CS-pass.
But, I cleared with CK on 2nd attempt and tht too with such a low score
Is there any chance to get into a residency in 2009 Match? Which all branches should I apply for in next year's match?
Please reply in detail if possible. I am a bit depressed by my scores.

Thanks in advance.

Go for the match, but I will be honest. Your 2nd attempt in step2 will bother u more than the low score. Take step3, it is always a good thing to do, if you do better in it, than it can somewhat compensate for your step2. Best would be to come over to US, join a research or observership, anything you can get......basic point is to get hold of a faculty, or some1 influential, work with them, they will help you alot. Do not be depressed of your score, you did pretty well, 88 in step1 is pretty good, but u have to accept the fact that you are an IMG and you will have to prove urself, try to come here asap. And get rolling, you will be fine.

Thank you Mentor, for your advice. I am trying for externship as well as observership. I will try hard to make my credentials better.

Thank you once again.
