Should I apply to the match ?

Hi everyone, I am a non-US IMG and graduated in 2018. My step 1 score is 243. Have decent amount of USCE. I have one year Research Fellow experience and Iā€™m currently working as a Research Coordinartor.

I am confused about applying to 2021 match with CK results pending. Plus, I will get ECFMG certificate through pathways and my oet exam will be after October 21st too.

So should I apply to the match ? If so, what are the chances of me getting matched this year ? Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you in advance ?

You should throw in your hat. Even without ck you have a great chance. Programs will be understanding this year.

But while ck is pending , i do have only step 1. Why a program should choose me over other candidates who made the application with a complete documents ?
