Hi guys. I am a 2026 grad non-US IMG with an overall good profile. I want to match into Duke, let me know if you think it is possible.

  1. Step 1: Pass

  2. Step 2: 26x

  3. Step 3: About to take

  4. Research: 6 meta-analyses published, 1-2 cross-sectionals, and CDC underway

  5. USCEs: -3-month observerships at the University of Maryland, 1 month OPD hands-on cardiology clinic, 2 months rotation at Duke University Hospital, trying to find a third rotation there.

  6. Significant teaching experience for Step 1 and Step 2 over the past two years.

  7. A significant amount of community work, leadership programs, and other stuff I have done over the past few years.

I know two senior residents and one attending who can advocate for me to give my application a push, but I am still unsure if that would change my chances at all. Please let me know what you think, and if anyone has any particular opinions in terms of this. Thanks.
