It does not matter what others say or think, do not give up. You have to work hard and keep moving forward.
You have to be confident and trust in yourself.
I applied last year and did not match but I kept confidence in myself and God Almighty, I applied again this year even though people told me not to apply. I rejected everyone's advice and I applied.

You have to look at NRMP Results from the match document to see where you fit. It looks like Family Medicine, but apply broadly and observerships. Broadly for me is 100+ programs

@ameemy, have you been keeping up with clinical experience/observerships/volunteer work and research work since you graduated in 2003? If you do it will enhance your resume.

If anyone wants to study step 3 with me let me know. I started in 2018 and then gave up because of my long work hours. BUt without step 3 there is nothing more I can do to enhance my CV. Planning to start second week of January.
If you have a plan on how to go about step 3 please share.
Thank-you!

Get connections and try to take Step3 exam which can help the application. Also, getting continuous hands-on rotations will be making your CV strong.

Completing the CS exam this time and get Step3 exam done will help the application, also get hands-on rotation to make the application better by getting strong LORs.
