Hi, Your attempts is an issue

Hi,
Your attempts is an issue even though your scores reasonable. I think you should be focussing on some programs that are know to accept IMG's such as St. Barnabas, Interfaith in NY and the like. Work through your contacts, get a good personal statement, apply to a few specialties, try to do an observership in a target hospital so they know you in person. Each person's path is unique and if you believe in yourself and work hard, you might get in. Also consider doing research and publish a few papers. Nothing is impossible, if you work hard. All the best.
