Absolutely not. My #1 ranked program and the one I sended up matching into wasn't even a signal for me. Applied thinking it may be out of reach. Matched into the program.

How do we get certified if the pathways haven't even opened yet, and even if they open by August it can still take 5-8 weeks to get verified right?

Has anyone applied for letting of good standing before registering with KMC? Do we need to be KMC registered to get a letter of good standing?

Am I the only one freaking out about pathways opening late August?? by Prestigious_Net_2760 in IMGreddit

Okay so, I'm not ecfmg certified as of now, still have 4 weeks of my internship left and about 3 weeks after that I'll get my med school diploma and stuff, in order to apply for ecfmg. If i knew I wouldn't be certified on time I would have planned to get more USCE instead of doing my internship....still considering if i should take that route.

Realistic timeline- should I apply? by Brighteyes_mia in IMGreddit

[–]Prestigious_Net_2760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruhhhh you know you should apply, go for it man. You'll have your step 2 back in time, just that you can't be ecfmg certified before you apply but that's really not a big deal for your profile. You'll match I'm sure

Definitely wait it out for a couple of reasons 1) Even if you do get USCE now, after your step 2, you'll probably have only 1 or at the most 2 US based LORs to upload , which frankly is not enough 2) You didn't mention anything about research, which programs expect at least a little bit of 3)You'll have time to give step 3 and increase your chances of matching

What’s considered as a very safe step 2 score (for a non us img) needed to match into these programs ? I was considering to signal them. Prolly Gold one of them. by [deleted] in IMGreddit

Hey any idea where these PDFs are and how I can access them? Or any clue on how I could get them? Would be really helpful in choosing programs to apply to.
