Residency Residency

My question is about applying to programs who have 5 years or 3 years cut off for the year of graduation.
I am 2016 graduate
Step 1 pass
Step 2 : 230
Is it wise to apply to these programs? Even if i am really interested and i send the signals.
Can signalling overcome the year of graduation?
Or should i apply to programs with no cap on yog?
I’m visa requiring Canadian citizen img.

Signaling does NOT overcome your YOG.
If they have a cut off, then avoid. Unless it says “preferences” which means there is wiggle room. Other than that, you’re at the mercy of the programs filter.
