i d suggest u e mail to PDs and ask them about this. if they reassure u, u'd be in a better mindset to prepare for ur steps.

I'm 6 yrs from grad. I wrote and called to about 100 progs, as apurva advised me. Many of the prog that require a max of 5 yrs just advised me to have some USCE in the next months, as I also lack that. as a result, I deducted that they don't stick on it and consider the whole application. but maybe I'm wrong. I still have more investigation to do in this.

hey wamba
good work, not many IMGs have USCE as urself. It will help if u share ur experience in this area with us. i am 8 yrs since grad. but i did post grad and am doing research now. hopefully wont be looked upon as waste of time. i will also find out from PDs about this.

if u did post grad - then already u can deduct 3yrs from ur yr of grad bcoz many progs use filters to consider yr of postgraduation
