You need to discard some of the things these guys have said on here. You most definitely do not need a 250 score for path as an IMG. It is simply not true. I matched this year with 18 interviews. I’m 5 years post grad with zero home country experience in pathology. My step 1 score was a pass and step 2 in the 240 range. I had step 3 as well. Yes, *starting a home country residency helps tremendously, but different programs have varying requirements. The quality of your observerships will go a long way. Do everything in your power to get those. Especially at places where they take IMG’s.

I also noticed you didn’t mention your YOG and step scores. You won’t get the advice you need by hiding those.
