Hi,
I too am from Pakistan (Graduate of SMC, Karachi). Got my application approved a couple of months ago.
No you don't need to send your medical school transcripts in mail. ECFMG will get those from your medical school itself.
Just be sure to fill out the 3 forms which you will download from the ECFMG site, including the form 183.
So you need to send the notarized form 183, and the other two forms, and your medical school degree ( photocopy) along with 2 recent photographs in mail.
Be sure to keep a photocopy of your notarized form 183 with you for your records.
All the best
Laila

Hi Sarika,
Regarding your question about clinical clerkship. Yes we have to enter all the clinical rotations we did during our last 3 years. I had taken a record of this from my college in karachi as I had forgotton the dates of those rotations.
As for the name thing. My understanding is that the name on your MBBS degree and your government issued photo identification (your driving licence for example)should be the same. However since you have that letter from your med college registrar that both names are yours so I think that you should not have any problem if you send that cert. along but I suggest you do some saearch of the bulletin of information or call up ECFMG to find out first hand from them.
All the best
Laila
