I’m non US-IMG, facing issues regarding visa( my visa got rejected on usce in May, then apply emergency request on step 3 basis that got denied yesterday)
I’m 2022 graduate with 1 year housejob in home country, I don’t have usce,and step 3 yet, my step 2 score is 257
Someone please suggest me do i apply in this match cycle or not? Was interested in IM!
What are the secondary options i have now?
I’m stressed out as i have gap years and no usce!
Is there any option for applying in FM or peads without step 3 and usce!

I know ERAS lets you flag up to 3 of your 10 Experiences as "most meaningful". I'm trying to figure out whether skipping this entirely (or only doing 1, instead of all 3) would come across badly to program, like I'm not passionate or reflective about my own experiences.

For an internal medicine residency application in the US, Would a letter of recommendation from a Canada-based Emergency Medicine doctor be acceptable ?
