Hey everyone...
First of all good luck on the match, I hope to be where you are come 2010.
I have a question for the IMGs out there (or even AMGs who happen to know the answer)...my situation has me taking the Step 1 exam in July/August..leaving no time for Step 2 CK before the Sept 1 application date.
Would it be a bad choice to apply with just my Step 1 score (i.e. without ECFMG ceritification)? I plan on taking the CK in late Sept/ early Oct...will that make a difference to PD's? I don't want to limit my chances and would rather wait one year and have a good shot at a decent program if it really effects my outcome. I've already given Step 2 CS btw.
Thanks in advance for the input.
