I'm an IMG in Australia applying for path residency next year. I was wondering what was typically emphasized in applications to most programs.
I've never failed or had to re-sit anything but I have average grades, nothing spectacular. Would good Step 1 (244/99) and Step 2 (in December) scores plus American pathologists LORs be a decent start?
It's a bit frustrating when and if grades are considered since they use completely different scoring systems here and what they test is very much different from US allopathic schools. There are no shelf exams.
