Hi, I am an IMG from India and my step 1 score was 234. I was planning on doing electives at universities and I realized that would delay my degree certificate by a year due to the leave i would have to take and I would have to apply for the match without a ecfmg certification or apply for the next match. I am really confused. I don't know If its a good idea to apply without electives the same year or do electives and apply without ecfmg certification. I have done one elective previously in IM in New York. Please please help. I'm totally lost.
