How badly do you want it? Think about the NRMP stats. Only 40 percent mated, worse than previous years and it's not getting easier. You wanted frank and brutal. The odds are stacked against you. You MUST score above 250 in Step 3, which you of course have DECIDED to give. My scores are in the mid 90s , cs pass, mrcp (uk) with 7 years of experience there and it was recent . I got 6 ivs only. I matched in a univ hospital but I was expecting more. The kind of candidate who makes it is YOG less than 2 years, 99,99,99, cs pass and does well in his iv. I have friends who are attending who have conveyed that last bit.

thanks Asclapius----my favorite god...
But scoring 250 in step3 is a wild dream for me...
I can surely get 80s score in step3...but beyond 90 is not possible given my job/other circumstances...
but my Q still remains unanswered---if a program has 82 cut off for MLE score, will my application be filteredout based on low ck score?
or they consider average of step1+step2ck?

you need to search for programs before you apply, there are many programs who does not have a year of gradn cut off/score cut off, find in freida.. apply there, finish off step 3, do as best as you can, GL
