Hi , I'm in desperate need for an advice , I'm an IMG ( graduated in 2014 ) with step 1 ( 255 ) step 2 CS ( passed with no failed attempt). in my final step 2 CK preparation , I took the UWSA (scored 253) . Is there any chance for me to get an interview for IM residency if I take step 2 ck in September and apply for a late match ? Thanks
Late match

It would be better to apply a early as possible of course - which means have your application ready by Sept 15th. But it does not mean that applying later will make things impossible. Programs have a fixed number of interviews they can run. Once they hit that number they stop inviting applicants, which then end up being waitlisted. If you want to apply this year then go for it ! When Are you taking CK ? You should get your result within 4 weeks.
Thank you so much for your reply . I am trying to take the exam by Sep.6th. Does it make a difference if I apply on the 15th or wait until I get the step 2 ck results??

If you're taking it Sept 6th I'd say apply later with the complete package, as it'll only delay your application by a few weeks. Now if you were taking the test in late October or November, I'd say to apply now.
Although your step 1 is great and it may get you interviews even without CK, for IMGs having CK really is important. I'd say as long as having the CK score ready does not delay your application by more than 2-3 weeks, you might as well wait.

Advice
I agree with the previous comment. You have a good STEP 1 Score. I would go ahead and get your application completely ready and apply early then add the STEP 2 CK score in whenever you receive it. However, the day you receive your STEP 2 CK score I would add it into your application.
One other thing, after you complete STEP 2 CK make sure to stay active. If you can do rotations in the speciality you are interested at your hospital or others around that would be beneficial on a number of levels.
Hope that helps,

Hi. I'm an IMG, I graduated in May 2018, I recently gave step 1, score is 244. I can try to give step 2 CK by June. But I do not have any USCE and currently due to covid, it's not easy to get a visa appointment in my home country, and also many in-person observerships are on hold. So should I do telerotations and apply this year or wait to do in-person observerships and apply next year? If I apply for 2022-2023, it's 4.4 months since graduation, but if I apply next year, for 2023-2024 match, then I'll be 5.4 months, and over the 5 year cut off. I'm putting all of my money into it, so please help. Are the chances of me getting a match are poor?
This is a pretty fun game, but requires players to have fast hand skills to choose the right arrow keys and at the right time they touch the arrow icons available on the screen to be considered valid. . If you have ever played Audition, you will get used to the Friday Night Funkin game very quickly.
