No one here will do your work for you.

I will however answer your 1st question. And the answer is, it depends.

Depends on the field you want to do an elective in, where you want to do it and whether that place has spots open. You would do yourself a big favor if you give the Step 1 before applying for electives. A VERY few places will let you touch a patient without having passed step 1.

Start searching forums, narrowing down places and start calling them to ask about available spots & clerkship requirements.
