I am an old 98 grad, 2 attempts on step 2, need visa with 89/85. I applied without CSA last year to lots of progs, just one courtesy interview...did not match. It was frustrating.
This year I am ecfmg certified...applied to IM and FP progs. Have 13 interviews so far....not a bad situation I guess.
All i wanna stress is...just keep working on the goal...it works out in the end.

Can I still match with just 4 interviews during the match???

I applied to 74 programs (54 to PED and 20 for IM-PED).
83/86, csa waiting results, GC, no research or clinical experience, did some observership at a pediatrics office, US doctor LORs, 2 yrs of experience at my home country
2 mistakes: I guess I applied a little late (end of October) and i check out the box "I was a couple match" when I am actually not. I already fixed it, I hope it's not hurting my applications. The programs download my new profile
Thanks IMG... I'll give my best with this interviews
Wish u the very best
