hi aisha

hmm i think you have to be both honest and cunning to explain this long gap...

u might have to balance your USMLE prep and housewife responsibilies along with intermittent periods of voluntary/research/clinical work ( could be hypothetical as long as it is explainable) to show that you always were trying hard to be in touch with medicine and now u feel prepared to apply...

its good if you can arrange to be in clinical practice atleast 6-9 months before starting ur residency....
