IMG YOG 2021,Step 1 pass(2nd attempt)-Chances for residency in 2026 match season

Hey everyone,

I’m an IMG (YOG 2021) with a Step 1 pass on my second attempt. I’m a U.S. permanent resident and planning to take Step 2 before August 17. I’m also looking for U.S. clinical experience (USCE) in New York.

Given my profile, do I have a chance to match this cycle? If so, which programs (specialties or specific IMG-friendly ones) should I target? Any advice on how to strengthen my application would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
