Iam 33 years old, gratuated in Medicine in 94 from India. Eventhough I am living in US for the past 5 years, I couldn't take the exams because of health reasons. Now my mind and body is ok. I am thinking of taking the step 1 in March. My question is at the age of 35 or 36, how are my chances of getting into a residency program (Family Medicine), do the teaching hospitals consider foreign candidates of that age for admission.
Any reply is appreciated.
Thanks.

There are residency programs in which year of graduation is requirement , but there are also those that do not have that as part of their requirements .So you should apply to latter.
Good luck
