Some programs do not need US experience. Your scores are excellent , maybe these programs give you interviews, but I am not sure.

I would suggest that you apply this year - your scores are very good even though you do not have USCE. There are many things that Programmes look for in an applicant besides USCE - so go for it!

I know someone who matched with similar scores some years ago without USCE and research. Especially if you are a fresh grad, you have a good chance to match. Good luck.

You have very good chances, esp if you are a fresh grad. My friend did the same last year and in a good program too.
