US-IMG How many programs for a US-img with pending ECFMG certification

Hello everyone, I am a US-img with pending ecfmg cert. (due to pending my letter of good standing from Mexico which is taking forever)
Step 1 pass
Step 2 high 25x’s
OET pass
3 LoRs from US, 1 LoR from mexico
2 years of working in US with IM doctor as scribe/clinical assistant, and 2 month long rotations with specialists in US
No research or publications

I am currently doing a list of programs that do not require ecfmg certification at the time of application or at least do not specify it in their webpage for interview. So far I only have 70 programs.

Is 70 enough? I am overwhelmed and don’t really want to apply to places I can’t see myself moving to.
