hi there

i have a couple of questions ....what is ecfmg certification exactly ...i passed my step 1 and ecfmg has already sent my diploma for verification to my college in india ..everyone back home says that is the final step in the certification process ...but i though certification is something where in one needs to pass staep 1 2 and cs

secondly at what point can i request my validation sticker as of now when i click on it it says not eligible

finally im taking step 2 in june so i should have my result in july and cs in july so hoping my result will be available by august ...
do i have to wait for all these results including toefl to apply starting early august ..if so my chances for 2006 are all but gone right
i am petrified at the thought of doing something other than look for a residency the next year
what should i do
please dont say ..i need to take exam early im not prepared i just have to stick to the pesent time table

thank you

well as far as i know ..generally application deadlines for most colleges are in october ...ech college has its own individual deadline which is on the particular websight .so as long as by october u have cleared step 1 and 2 and at least appeared for cs it should be ok. even i plan on taking the step 2 ck in july/aug and cs after that...so that my results shud be available by oct or so. so dont panic. ur on track.

Okay here answers to few of your questions

You'll get ECFMG certicate only after you pass all 3 exams plus your diploma and other documents are verified.

You dont need any validation sticker

You dont have to take any TOEFL. Ecfmg no more requires that.

(thats what ECFMG FAQs are there for)

your time table looks all right but it takes 2 monts to get your CS results i think.
