The only thing that matters is SCORE. Rest is all bull shit. This is my conclusion. People who say that psychiatry prog look for experience and bla bla is the biggest lie. I have a lot(15 months externship in Canada and everyone knows that Canadian standard is as good as US) and good LORS from Canada BUT have a 79(2nd attempt) on step 2 and 93 on step 1. Guess what, I got no interview call and I know coz its my my step 2 score which SUCKS.

I am desperate and what I just said is the reality. Match is all about SCORE, SCORE n SCORE and I had this dreadful scare with my life on CK. I am ready to face anything now. Have no hope... and wud only check email once after 2 days coz I know what is waiting for me.

Please don't take it offensive but I just said what is the reality.

Wish u all the best.

do not lose hope, i know i might not be in a better shoes to encourage u, but i want u to kn score has a part but certainly not the only thing they consider, i fail my step 2CS on the 1st attempt,now am awaiting result for the 2nd one i did few months back,and i already got 2 interviews in psyc, till date i do not kn y i got those interviews, it was not my scores or anything, but it was God,trust in HIM and HE will hold u up and keep u strong.
