@beez you are about right for USIMG, I am at 9. Know someone similar stats with 14. Otherwise everyone else I know is at 3-4. So relax. Gonna be a long season.

@fitzchiv yeah I'm just freaking out since I know others with my similar stats have ivs in the low teens already. I have no red flags on my app. Just wondering if I should apply to FM just in case.

@defeatthebeast: I studied for a few months over the summer with UWorld step 3 qbank and CCS, MTB 2, MTB 3, and Crush Step 3 CCS. I wrote a description of my exam and studying experience in the step 3 forum. I thought the mcqs were difficult but the CCS was a breeze.
In another note, I can't believe up to this point i have no interviews. It can't be this competitive. I'm trying to make sense of not getting invs, but thank god I've already been accepted and started a allied health program in another field of study because this is ridiculous. It almost makes u angry that u can do all of this work, pass every board exam, and still not get IV's. Ohh well good luck to everyone with IV's, hoping to get some soon.

Thanks diverticulosis, will def try to find it
and yeah i feel your pain...last year i had 2 ivs up to this point and thought i would have at least 3-4 this year so far with my improved app....crazy to think all that money, time and energy spent on something you are passionate about and have one score ruin it all. (at least thats what i feel in my case)...hopefully things work out, looks like the only ivs im gonna get is thru contacts and even those havent come yet
