发帖数: 328 | 10 Tell us more about yourself and what you are likely to apply. The score is
not everything. Your whole package is more important.
Single encouragement is not objective and sometime even harmful. You have to
evaluate yourself in more details than just listen to other people's
feedbacks.
Truly evaluate yourself in listed aspects (1 poor, 2 fair, 3 good, 4
excellent) before you really decide to quit or carry on.
(1) Your spoken english.
(2) Your family burden especially fianacially.
(3) Your visa status (Without GC, choose 1. With GC, choose 4).
(4) Are you a social person?
(5) Your estimation of your following step score.
(6) Connection.
(7) YOG (If over 10, choose 1)
(8) Your academic achievement (If not related to what specialty you are
going to apply, choose 1 or 2).
If all the rest are less than 24 (average good), your match chance is
pretty dismal. But not absolutely 0. The only miracle that could happen is
that you are super strong in one aspect:
(1) Super strong connection. For example, you are already chosen candidate
without a score. In that case, all you have to do is to clear the rest of
your exam. Or some nationally known powerful persons advocate strongly (not
just positively) for you. Or you are doing research with chairman (clinical
departments) who is strongly supporting you.
(2) Outstanding academic achievement (such as nature or cell first author).
(3) Very socialable with super linguistic abilities.
Other hard routes include years long detour such as applying for PA first
and then shift to residency gradually. But do consider other risks such as
increased percentage of AMGs(less and less spots in the future), personal
failure or loss of support from family. |

发帖数: 328 | 11 There will be less and less space for an average IMG with average score with
more and more AMGs and DOs. But there will still be downpouring of IVs for
excellent IMGs even in hardest time. In the field of medicine in US, the
weaker will be ruthlessly phased out. Don't complain because it is the rule
of this game. |

发帖数: 90 | 19 It is a hard decision to make. If you give up now, your chance will be 0. If
you do not, you still have a chance. the probability to match does not mean
anything to an individual. For an individual , you either make it or not.
It is 1 or 0.
You need to ask yourself how much do you want to be a physician and if you
will regret if you fail to secure a residency position. Talk to your spouse
and ask for her or his opinion. You need family supports too.

发帖数: 3726 | 27 I agree. Not intend to discourage anyone. Positive energy is always good,
just like every American can say I want to be the President. Theoretically,
yes, you can as long as you are a citizen.
Mediocre score without GC, plus long YOG, is absolutely a killer. To get
matched is like winning a lottery. You can try your luck. Unless you have
STRONG connection. Even pathology and psych also start to take YOG into
consideration now.
So, think twice before you go further. There will be numerous hurdles. Good
luck.

it a second and final try. I worked every part of my whole package, enjoyed
research and family life. I also prepared alternative ways in case fails
again. Unexpectedly, I got quite a few of IVs without connection this year.
It would be great if I could be matched this year. If not, I will not regret

发帖数: 60 | 34 visa issue+long YOG+average score? If you do not have strong research, think
why a program would accept you. At least, there is something you could
benefit the whole team. Otherwise, you will very likely end up as a
liability for the whole program. If you can not be an asset, at least do not
be a liability.
One suggestion: Programs are not philanthropists. They do not care about
your currrent fiancial or family situation. They just want to know how much
you can contribute to the team compared to the others. If they feel you
could be a liability to the program, they would not rank you simply b/c they
sympathize you. |

发帖数: 328 | 37 No one is gonna discourage others. There is still chance if you really try
hard.
In today's US residency application, you have to pay much heavier price for
one mistake you have ever made earlier. From now on, try to conserve every
dollar you made. You will probably need a lot of money to support your
future course than you ever budgeted.
Try to score at least 240 in CK. If you are not sure, do not take it at all.
From your case,it seems you do not know yourself quite well. But one thing
I conclude is that your step 1 foundation is not as solid as it should be.
So it will take much longer than you thought. Don't rush.
Pass Step CS in one attempt.
Pass step 3 in one attempt.
Then try to secure GC first before the match.
If you can not make it after green card, try to do 6 mo or 1 yr externship
somewhere(commercial or noncommercial).
If you still can not make it, try PA or nurse then.I think after that when
you are more familiar with the system, you will have at least 40-50% chance
to get a spot somewhere.
Be mentally prepared and gain the support from your family or supervisor.
Without the support from them, you will have a much harder time.
Finally, one thing for sure is that it will take much longer and harder than
you thought. So you should be very tough from inside. If you have decided
to go ahead, do not come here to seek encouragement or positivity. People
like those are prone to fail. |
a**********2
发帖数: 3726 | 38 Very well said. 100% agree.
CK>=240, first attempt on CS and step 3, try to get solid score on step 3.
Get GC.
Do observership or externship and try to find connection.
If still fail after trying all above, think of alternative. This path is not
for you. Try PA or APN, then back to physician through this detour, which
takes forever.
Again, agree that sweet words do not help. It is much harder than you might
think and what those people who only give sweet words might think, given you
are not in a great shape (low step 1, no GC, long YOG).
Good luck.
for
all.

发帖数: 3726 | 43 I personally really think his chance is very slim. Step 2 and step 1 score
has very tight correlation. I do not expect high jump for his step 2. On top
of that, no GC and long YOG makes low step 1 score almost hopeless. Of
course, if he has TRUE STRONG connection, that will be a completely
different story. Assuming he does not have such connection, I would strongly
suggest take an alternative path.
Sugar words do NOT help. Reality is more cruel than what most people might
think.
If you do not have GC and YOG>10, either get step 240 and above or take
alternatives. If you are young and have GC, try your best. |

2.拿到GC
3.找到OB做长一点时间（最少半年以上），不是为了混推荐信目的，是真正学东西的目
的而去
4.尽量找connection。
希望有，但是比较小，如果再有任何CS不1次过，CK在考220以下，基本可以找其他出路

One of my path interviewer, who is very energetic and interested in numerous
fields since his residency. He only did 1yr fellow in a top pg, and became
a faculty 2yrs ago. His published >10 papers during residency, most of them
are not simply case reports. His opinion is trying to find the direction of
the career, rather than trying to survive in a field which is common but
saturated. This is very inspiring sharing to me. Hope it will help LZ too.
Try to find ur advantages, and look forward to the trend of the career that
u wanna do. These kind of people are hard to fail.
