I am currently an international medical student doing rotations in the US, i complete my last rotation of 4th year in March of 2012. Will I be able to apply this year to start PGY 1 next year?
I have already taken Step 1 and have CS and CK later this year.

You can join the match even with no USMLE steps but to be entered in the rank list in the NRMP match (march 2012) you have to be ECFMG certified and since you will not be finished by your med school required rotations before march then you can't join the match!! so my advice is don't apply this year if you can't get you med school diploma before march to get your ecfmg certificate done otherwise you will spend you money on applicaton and inteview but will not get ranked!
goodluck
