Hello @ask77777
What specialty were you looking to go into? While your USMLE scores are good, some specialties value USCE more than others.
Best,

In cases like yours with outstanding high scores case, as far as I know, you could still get interviews based on your excellent scores. Leave things to destiny and start sending applications with your home LORs.

You definitely have great chance.. IM community hospitals may offer you pre-match with those scores or rank you high if they are going into the match. Bronx Lebanon in NYC is one of those that always offer pre-match, but the program quality is trash to be honest. But at the end you only need residency and then go from there.
Academic programs unfortunately requires LOR from US, and they value USCE more at times, but who knows they may offer you interviews too.
