No one can tell you the chances buddy. It is so tough this year, more than last year and even programs are telling this.
How come you did not match with 10 iv's last yr? Did you perform poorly or something in iv's? Do well in your 1 iv this time and ask prematch if they offer.

can I ask why do you think was the reason you didn't match even with 10 interviews ?
ECFMG certificate, year of graduate ... played a role ?

I was in the same position as you a few month ago. Take step3 !
Find USCE, research get some publication. Take personality improvement or presentation course ( I took the latter one) These will greatly improve your chance.
SOrry I don't know much about prelim.

Attend Dr Brian's IV prep course. It is only 100 bucks and it changed my entire strategy. This will help you do better in your future IVs. I guess the problem is you did not impress them well enough in your previous IVs. Don't loose hope. Keep updating your resume with USCE or research. USCE is better than anything.
Good Luck
