Low step2 score IMG seeking mentorship for match 2027
I'm looking for a fellow IMG who recently matched into IM or FM with a low Step 2 CK score and old YOG. And would be willing to provide their mentorship.
I'm applying for the second time this cycle, and because of financial limitations, I'll have to apply to a carefully selected list of programs. I want to be as strategic as possible and would really appreciate someone experienced looking over my program list.
Although my Step 2 CK score is my weakest point, I've continued to build my application. I have stayed continuously involved in clinical, academic, and research work with no gaps in my CV.
I also feel I could do a better job presenting my experiences on my CV and ERAS application, so if anyone is willing to share feedback on that as well, I'd be very grateful.
My credentials:
Step 2 CK: 22*
Step 3: Passed
4 months of U.S. clinical experience
YOG: 5
No gaps in my CV (clinical and academic)
Im not asking about my chances I’m asking a mentor that could guide me to achieve my goals.
If you've been in a similar position and are willing to help, I'd really appreciate a comment Thank you.
Morale already low pls be kind. Thankyou
