Hi,

I am an IMG with scores 91 and 83 on step 1 and step 2 respectively and ECFMG certified.
What are my chances of getting residency ?
This is my 2nd match, last year i was unmatched.
i don't have clinical experience in US but have 2 and 1/2 yrs of research exp.

Please reply.

Thanks

Dear Riya:
You do have a good chance to get matched this year, since your scores are good. Select the programs wisely after knowing their criterias and apply only to those where you fit all their requirements. But, it also depends on our luck many times, because last year one of my friends matched in IM with just 2 interviews and scores of 87 and 78 and no US experience. Please try to get some experience, if possible or try something else to make your CV look different this time. Good Luck!
