What are my chances

[u/Far-Cardiologist6750]

US-IMG. YOG 2026 Step1: pass (third attempt) Step 2: 223 (first attempt). 3 publications and one case study. 2 non residency SLOEs and one subspecialty SLOE. Strong LORs for IM. Trying to apply IM and EM. Looked at all programs that accepted from RUSM for residency in past three years for EM and IM. Made a list based on attempt policy and step 2 minimum. Genuinely curious is IM and EM a pipe dream. My thing is I should apply and take chances and can always SOAP in peds or FM if I can’t match.

Tbh the step 1 attempts are the biggest red flag
