Hi 222/232/197 and cs 2nd attempt, 2011 grad. I applied 3 years and left unmatched. i felt devasted. what a pathetic situation. 6 months externship, 6 months research also. got 4 interviews but no luck. interviews went good and they said I'm good candidate and all but no-one really ranked me high. i need help what has to be done next. are there any options other than residency for me? like any masters? need advice.

Focus on one program. Relatively a less competitive one. Try to do observership or research with a well known faculty for several months. Show them that you are the most dedicated and hardworking resident that they can ever get.

It's natural to feel that way. Don't make an emotional decision. Have a clear plan for every month from now on.

No offense but maybe you should try improving your English first.

@physiciancoagnition - thank you for your advice. but even if i try for one more year, it would still be unpredictable at the end. i am completely confused what to do next.

You don't have that bad cv.i think you should focus on 1,2 programs and start doing observer shop with them.
