[ArchivalUser]

Hi i_am_g,

Thanks for ur reply, yea i have one attempt on step 1 and the other on CS
I am planning to apply to IM and FM as backup...what do u think ???
The problem is that my supervisiors did not send the LOR yet ((

What about u .how many programs did u apply?

[ArchivalUser]

well resident 2008

frankly speaking neuro seems to be much more competitive then it looks.........
having attempts in two exam is surely gonna affect your application..... on the other side neuro USCE will surely help you...but i believe USCE comes after your score.......i would rather suggest you to apply IM /FM as a main field and neuro as a back up............
plz dont get disheartened..this is what i think.... i may be wrong......
and it is still not too late to apply.....do apply asap....

good luck

Thanks KuKu for ur reply
I will try to apply asap

Good Luck
