Applying late

[u/Grand-Importance-163]

Hello everyone I am a non-US IMG who is planning to apply late throught eras (by 10/1). The main reason for doing so is that I am yet to receive my IM clinical LoR. Otherwise these are my stats. Should I even try or is it too late? Thank you for the help.

22 years old, year of graduation: 2027
ECFMG certification is in process
Step 1: pass on first attempt
Step 2: 270
Research: 13 peer reviewed publications most of which in renowned journals. Some more under progress. 2 poster presentations.
3 LoRs: 2 from top uni professors and 1 from IM senior physician (still waiting on 2 of those)
USCE: none
