I am IMG and applying for psych and neurology residency, this year.
Passed Step 1(~220) and Step 2 CK(~235). Failed CS in my first attempt. attempted again and the results won't be out till Oct, 8th.
here are my options:
1. Wait till my CS results arrive and then apply.
2. Apply today but not release the USMLE transcript. Release it when I get the passing (hopefully) CS result and notify the programs
3. Apply today and release the USMLE transcript. When I get the passing (hopefully) CS result, notify the programs.
Which option will yield me a better chance to get interviews?
Thank you for your feedback
It’s a tough situation. With a cs attempt as an IMG, it’s very very difficult to get an interview . I would apply when I get the pass
