It is to much sadness I have given up hopes for 2007 match.
Many of readers of this forum might remember that i scored decent in step 1 (93) and was hopefull to take step 2 in time to go for 2007 match.
However, I havent posted anything for last two months due to simple reason that on personal front things have gone so bad and sour that I am totally devastated. I can not pick up a book or work.
It took lot of courage today to even post this. But in this dark time I still find hope and solace in medicine. I find that going to observership really helps me forget what has happened to me on personal front. I am hopefull that something will work out fine and I will be back in business of taking usmle early next year.
good luck to all others for next match

Hey !
i think u can still give it a shot if u r going to an observership then do one thing, apply for CS first n get it done will hardly take 3 wks tops if u r doing an observership then u will be callled for interviews i believe would take for 2007 match this is what i m gonna do if get my score relevant to urs. give it a try
I know being in a turmoil from inside really takes the juice out of life n everything seems so distant n useless that u dont want to even bother abt anything. I m not aware of ur loss but i can understand the feeling cos i have been thru a similar situation. The only thing that brought me out was the return to my job as a Doc nothing else didnt matter
I pray to Allah to ease ur pain n help u n guide u thru a rough patch cos the setting Sun does Rise again.

Hi Apura,
My exam is near the dead line and people said that I'm at high risk of unmatched for 2007.
If I unmatched in 2007, then I'd apply for 2008 match, would my profile become weaker?
Do program director count the times we apply for match?

dear sachida,
i remember your name from somewhere in the forum. I am sorry to hear that you are having difficult times in your personal life. I would advise you to think one step at a time. Do your observership and if possible give the CS in the next month or two, since CS is not very difficult, and also not too much to study. You can think of your step 2 after that. I am sure that you will do very well since people usually score better in step 2 than step 1. If you can't make it for this match, thats okay, but don't lose heart and don't wait for a year. Give the exams whether you can make it or not for the match. keep going and God will give you take you further.

Dear Friends,
Thank you all for posting in support. My loss is personal in terms of loosing a sound home and personal relationship that mattered most- not that someone died (thank god). But still the effects are so deep and so vast. Due to present situation I also have lost home and could hardly spend anytime with my parents whom I was seeing after 4 yrs in USA.
The rehabilitation and possibility of re-establishing broken relationship is there but extremely painful and time consuming process. Only time can heal such devastation. I do sometime think of forgetting everything and work like a madman for completing exams but I have to be honest- I do not think I can perform as per my potential and can easily ruin whatever I have constructed with decent step 1 score, phd degree and publications. I rather take it slow. As Apurva suggested one year may not matter that much when I am 65 and reflect back on how I handled my life.
Meanwhile, I would rather like to be helpful to all who are going for this match. Any way, any form. You want me to work on your sop, lor, assay, recco letter- anything I will be willing to help. I will learn on the way. I do think I can do good job with that.

im impressed by ur signature..."doubt is a luxury we cant afford"...remember it applies to God's blessings too...will soon be there.
well some say that applying after a 'blank' is not awesome for ur residency ...BUT i know ppl lagging behind 3 or 4 years, yet landing in great places...good luck
