Alright...
I am an img...i was preparing for usmle...gave my step 1 ..got a poor score of 205/85...
I have decided to quit my journey further...cause i see no point in going toward a future..where uncertainity is at its peak...
My seniors didnt help me much either...they said u can try and give it a shot and see if it works for u..make contacts...people at all forums , mostly one doesnt get replies at all..but even if one does they say " ohh i know of this guy who got matched at a score similar to yours in an university / or other programs" but seriously where are these guys...i couldnt find a single guy with low scores who matched in IM...( and please a green card really helps...for people like me...who have no green card there are slim chances)
I know of guys who had low scores didnt got matched...did research...then even didnt got matched...
Some of them took up FM...( they had applied for both)
Actually i have just heard about them...
The deal is ...no one can understand ...they always say yeah do try...its what u always wanted...and these are the guys with 230s score always...
Is there really a point to spend soo many $$ and soo much of time...just to improve ur cv...
Well some of u might disagree..but my aim was to get into a good residency...my aim isnt just going to the usa..
Is there a single guy out there who is an img...with low score...with no green card...with no contacts...just with electives... Maybe a research ...who got matched at an IM program...???
As for me...these were just thoughts accumulated over time...sorry if i discourage anyone...
I will settle for my home md now...maybe do mrcp later and apply in dubai / singapore...or maybe enter usa via the direct fellowship route..if i get in radio / anaesthesia...
All the best all....any replies..( i know hardly anyone replies on posts like these) but still....WILL BE APPRECIATED
