IMG Success Story: Anesthesiology Match! "You Are Not Your Step Scores"

Cynthia is an IMG who matched into anesthesiology at Rutgers, NJMS. She graduated from medical school in 2018 from Warwick Medical School in the UK, worked for a year, took some time off and then applied for Match 2021. As a Non-US IMG, she felt all odds were against her. But she Matched into her #1 choice and wants to serve as hope for all the IMGs looking at applying. “If I can do it, so can you!!"
Feel free to reach out to her on Instagram anytime with questions @drctstummyfillers.

[@raidentesla]

Does having family I'm the US strengthen your application.

[@matcharesident]

No, that's not generally something programs take into consideration. They care more about your experiences and strengths as relevant to the field.

This would be more helpful if you just said the step scores..

[@matcharesident]

Hi! Thanks for your input =) Not everyone is comfortable sharing their scores on the web, but you can connect with Dr. Tan on Instagram @drcyntan to see if she would share with you.
