Hi BBB,

How about 32 yrs of age? is that a problem?
I graduated in 1999 and then did one year of residency in my Home country. Since 2001 I am not in touch with medicine. I am applying for 2006 match. Where will I stand with scores in 90's , no visa sponsorship needed, applying for Paeds..
I have heard that there are some programs which requires to have gradutaion in last three years , some in last five yrs and some in last seven yrs? Do you have any rough estimate (in terms of Percentage ) of 3,5, and 7 yrs restriction.
