there is some truth that if you are not an American....if you are a true foreigner then you need really good scores

but if you are a US citizen with 75 to 80, you still have a chance in matching, now the chances to match in rads and surg are low but you will get pysch, peds, fp, and some IM interviews

you will need to apply to more programs and go on more interviews but it can be done....i know someone who failed step 1 and barely passed and still matched this year

No, I cannot help you get a residency.

President and Dean of--
Skipper's Medical Univeristy of the Dutch West Indies--SMU-DWI
Apply Now.....Get an MD in 6 Weeks....

If you fail at AUC, SGU, or Ross why not transfer to SMU, if you fail at SMU, why not try another SMU.

i forgot to mention that what i said really pertains to us citizens. its a different ballgame if you need a visa and i didnt know anybody that went through that process so i cant comment on it.

Hey...Magen...... You claim to have done basic medical sciences and claim yourself to be a MD from probably one of pooh pooh Carribean medical school! How many times did you fail step 1 ?

Pass rate depends on school too....... if you are not satisfied then go to good medical school like Ross where I went then you will have a real feel of good and you pooh poohty place.
