I need suggestions, opinions, and candid advice.
Non US IMG of 7yrs (No GC). Applied this cycle (in October to IM and FM) as I sat for CK in September. Step 1 228, Step 2 CK 233, CS pass 2nd attempt. 6 months USCE; 2 months were in a University hosp, 1 month in a med center and the rest in a private clinic. 4 LORs from US physicians (2 attendings in IM specialties, 1 internist, and 1 Anesthesiology attending that I happened to know). I had a 1yr experience as an assistant in a family practice clinic, but sadly, while I in a hurry to submit I omitted that in my application. No LOR from a family physician. Also realized I omitted home country internship experience after submitting my CV.
Received no IVs the entire season.
Do I stand any chance if I reapply the next cycle-2020/21, given that it will be 8yrs YOG? If YES, what should I do differently? I’m also considering applying to Peds and Psych in the next cycle instead of IM and FM.
Feel free to find flaws in what I have done. Your helpful comments are appreciated. Thanks
