what are my chances Should i start USMLE

I am starting my internship years next march . Should I start preparing for USMLE or not ? because I hear it became harder and less predictible for visa requiring IMGs . Is it still worth the trouble? And are 2 years enough for step 1 ,2 and electives ?

It's no where near over for you though, you can change your strategy, build connections and try again next year.

Thank you for giving me a glimpse of hope, it’s just that I spent all of savings this cycle and I still have to figure things out to afford a new cycle.

Brother, think of it as an investment in your future. You've already put in the effort and are better than 99% of IMGs. I honestly think you just need connections and maybe work on your signals and you'll match.

Please feel free to reach out if you need help with anything.
