Your offshore school of graduation WILL also play an important role.

Ortho should be in the "near impossible" category along with Ophtho, derm, with a 218 score. Average ortho match from the US school I teach now is in the 240+ range. I do have classmates (IMG's) who are orthopods now. All of them had Step I scores in the 250 range.

Anesthesiology is getting tougher and tougher every year. By the time you apply for residency, it may be tough for offshore IMG's. Same goes for ER.
