Quoted: em hopes

A member asks:

I failed to match in em last year. My board scores were horrible(failed step 1 and then passed, failed step 2 and then passed) everything else about my app was solid-good school-good lors-mostly honors in clerkships-test taking problems haunted me-i finally spent the $$$ and got some professional help which i believe has solved(or at least softened) my problem

I was fortunate to get a great prelim position and am working hard-i have great lors from currentl pd and have been doing well. Will having this year under my belt help-or will i still get screened out because of the scores

I'm wondering if I should also apply to IM positions-will this make my commitment to e seem weak?

Applying to IM positions would not hurt you if nobody knows about it. Just do not apply to the same institutions for both.

The OP would like to further know:

do i use same lors? how do i handle an interview when asked why im?
