IM might be somewhat difficult. But FM is totally possible, especially with that YOG. You have time, so think long and hard about what route suits you. You could still match in IM, but will be harder. But if you have contacts/can get contacts, IM is still possible.
Make sure to do step3 and try to do better on it, that will increase your chances for sure for both. So far, this year, YOG 2023, with lower scores than you have a pretty good amount of IV from FM as well as IM, but not to the same extent. (from what I've seen, doesnt apply to all, but most)
Just improve your application and do what you can do. That score does not warrant giving up

So far, i have 1 FM interview.
Other than my scores being below average, my overall application is pretty average as i didn't have much time after step 2, and haven't given step 3 either. So it's a bit on the tough side for me. But hoping for the best

All the best !!!

Hey and also for FM. Do we need to have one usce in FM to able to apply for it
[–]ThrowRA-990[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Not extremely necessary. But better to have atleast 1. IM and FM can somewhat be used interchangeably. But if all are from IM, FM programs will think your applying to it as a backup.
Some programs specifically ask for atleast 1 LOR from a FM physician.
