Kono, when exactly did you get your diploma? ain-shams? I don't care about practicing in egypt  I know for sure that it has nothing to do with el emteyaz, but the point is when it will be issued.. because I need it before the ROL deadline which is usually on late February! So its all a matter of time..
And Congrats brother for the great work!

brother zweil
1. another non-answerable question LORs are as important as USMLE scores but I guess you can still find a spot with good scores u never know!
2. it wont help i think they dont give a sh*t about what you were in ur home country when chosing their residents..

@ Ra7man,
I'm not with kono in what he adviced, coz not everyone is like him, he is like the Idol of our topic here ... He Masha ALLAH finished everything in a very short period with flying scores ... for ohters things might not work like that, However, i did the same he did, just because the diploma states that the graduation is after the 6th yr, however, i answered my diploma won't be issued till i finish intership .. i remeber that there was a q like that ...
But When i get to apply to residencies ISA, i will write my graduation after the Emtiaz, coz they don't prefer old graduates which some consider 3 yrs from graduation and others consider 5 yrs, and they won't look at ur ECFMG data, just the transcript ... all my class mates did that and i will follow them ISA.
@ zweil
regarding ur 2nd q, it won't hurt for sure, although they don't consider it, but won't hurt u, 1 advice, put in ur CV every single detail about u, even if u consider won't differ, their point of view may differ a lot , u may get a position just because u share the same interests of the Program director who interviewed u, i know a friend from Pakistan, she failed twice in each step and passed with 78 & 79 ... and got matched in psyciatry in Washington DC, just because she read a book that was written by the program director and she discussed it with him during the interview and he liked her oponions a lot and insists on having her on his team, she even had a problem with her work permission and dead line passed with signing the contract, then they offered someone else, but this one accepted another post, so they returned back to her, where she was done with that permission and got the job .. so don't underestimate anything u did ...
GL

Mezo pasha , is it possible to write the year of ending EMTIAZ as your graduation year when applying for residency?
cause it is unfair to waste 2 valuable years cause of stupid system
as i will finish EMTIAZ in 2010 but i'll be counted as 2008 graduate . whole 2 years wasted without any use of them
i think if it is possible ill say i'm 2010 graduate which is TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hi every one
Now I can not go to have step 2 cs till i know what will happen in (farz el geesh),which will be in next Nov.
My friend told me that you can try to get externship which will offer you a student visa so you can go only by this way.
well,Is this true.
also generally what do you need to get an externship?
thanks in advance.

@ MHL ...
when applying for the exam. i.e. in IWA ( ECFMG) application write 2008 just to be identical to the data on ur diploma and don't confuse them, however, when u apply to a residency through ERAS, write 2010, all my friends did the same and when they got for an interview, they explain that the system won't grant them the diploma till they finish the 1 yr internship, i.e. it is required by the law to be certified as a grdaute and offer them them The certificate of Emtiaz .... others may disagree with if this info that u gonna tell them true or not true, actually we will never know, coz laws here in Egypt are not clear and everyone explanis it according to his/her understanding, so we too should do what's in favor of our mission, even if we r wrong, we r not cheating anyone, it is a bretty dum limitation they are putting and all the Egyptians that go there even the ones with low scores and old graduates, exceeds their expectations and overbeat them, so don't worry, u r not doing anything wrong ...
@ ra7man ...
I can't help u with that, i don't know if this is feasible or not but even if it is, it will be a tough mission to get someone in the army to understand ur situation .... they barely understand the egyptian dilemmas, they only act like machines, their brains are set to be off all the time, so good luck with that
