I'm a young graduate (graduated last year) and have 5 months externship experience in the US (at doctor's clinics though FMG) and have low scores (shameful to mention, but 79 for step 1 and 86 for step 2, all at first attempt. On October, I passed step 3 and I sent letters regarding this change in my status to all programs I applied for.) and have 3 LORs from US doctors and 1 LOR from my own country. I need a visa sponsorship.
I applied for the IM and FM programs on September, the 1st. I have been waiting for interview invitations but received none. I only got one phone interview. I know that my step 1 score is so low but because of the 7 year rule, I can't do anything on that.
Is there anyone who got interviews or made a successful match with low scores like me? Or, do you know anyone like that? Please let me know the story. Would there be anything that I can to at this point to be competitive?
Other then the score, do you see anything that could be a weakness in my resume?
Now, I'm being kind of desperate and really need some help.
I'll appreciate anybody's comment.
