my chances - pediatricksmd
#1
Hi everyone so here are my stats.IMG,needs visa, 208/214/passed CS all in first attempt.yog=2014. ecfmg certified.I applied really late in the season (end of November) and never got any interviews.Now i am waiting for the SOAP to begin.
I have really been depressed because I know my chances are next to none.I just need some advice and some positivity to keep me going.I am starting an observership next month and hope to get some solid LORs and I plan on taking step 3 but I am worried that my score may not be high and will further dampen my chances.HELP

you are just one of the people that will be filtered for every application
-you will need connections via electives, observerships, externships, etc.
-your scores are subpar already
-i'm just trying to be honest with you
-the only way I see you'll get an interview is through connections

Do you have us rotations?
Observer ships aren't good

Chris cricri and the others got in. With lower scores.
Just get rotations

@sakic26 thanx for your words.yes I am aware that my scores are subpar. I do know a couple of people that can help but they didnt come through this season.So I am worried.
@cantgiveup23 .Thnx for the encouragement.I don't have any US rotations or externships,the only things within my reach are observerships and hopefully research.I just need to know that it will be worth it in the end
It will definitely take a miracle for me to land a residency spot.
