Adress a red flag in fellowship personal statement?
Hi,
I am a non-US IMG at a community-based program in NYC (with a very strong affiliation to a large academic center). I have an attempt in my step 2 CK (209).

WAMC + school list help? 3.92, 519, ORM
I'm debating whether to even apply this cycle because I know how weak my application is. Should I try? Where should I try for? If I don't, how can I improve my application over the next year?

2. 519 MCAT (130 Bio, 131 Chem, 128 CARS, 130 Psych) - taken in June 2020, so if I don't apply this cycle I likely have to retake
3. PA resident

Since my undergrad was a bachelor of arts and the bio-chem sciences had been an uphill battle in high school, I started with a nursing...

Am I disadvantaged?
I don't know if I should check the disadvantaged box and write the essay because I recognize people have life way worse. Basically every woman in my (Indian) family has been married off at 18 or below and I'm an only female child so my parents tried to do the same thing for me. I lied to them and applied to college using money I secretly saved up and then was kicked out until college started and during that time I stayed with a mix of friends/older cousins who felt bad for me/cars sometimes...
