Actually guys, this story got me so worried, coz after i postponed my step1, i had to postpone CS too and then i won't catch this yr match and by this when i apply next yr ISA i'll be an old graduate as i'd be 6 yrs after my graduation, I've one failure on my record, one low score, ALLAH only knows how i'll perform on the following steps ??? Externships are so Hard to get, I'm getting older, i completed 29 and working my way in 30 ... if i ever got matched i'll be starting my residency at the age of 31, didn't do anything with my life yet, how da hell i'm gonna get married ?? and when??
2 yrs from now, if i got matched, to start my practical life, what if i didn't get matched ??? which is better to spend this yr working on my CV i.e. doing step3 and trying to get externships or should i shift to newzealand, so that i secure a plan B ??? or should i get a job in Gulf area, so that i'll have a job that enables me to get married & start a family , meanwhile working on getting matched too ????
Really, i can't make a decision about what is best ??? I'm fed up, i wanna start my practical life, i wanna get married, start a family, support myself, till now i'm depending on my family, is this gonna ever have an end, or i'll live in this nightmare forever ????
Ya ALLAH ya Waley AlSabereen ( = Oh ALLAH who supports the patient ones )
Mezo..what decision U like to take now?..Noway,brother...Just finish ur coming step,get rid of that stress and then relax so u`ll be able to think....I Know u r aware of that usmle road being long and needs patience,I just remind U and remind myself too.

Guys,
I won't catch 2009 match, i was scheduled for CS in Mid August, and even this would have decreased my chancees a lot but i was determined to apply, now, after postponing step1, i had to reschedule CS and the 1st available and suitable date is in Novemebr, and this will be reported in late january i.e. after the IV season ... put in mind that i've to stay in USA for at least 1 month b4 doing CS to improve my accent, to try to get any training, observer, whatseoever and practice for the test, and remember that i still have to apply for a visa and Ramadan is in Septemebr, all this makes the 1st suitable date in Novemebr ... and it happened to be the 1st available too ...
SO, i already missed 2009 match and i'll be applying to 2010 ISA ... just to clear this for everyone.
Now, i know that i have to take it step by step and move on, and not enter the depression cycle and all that bla bla bla .... however, u can never forget about these issues, u just suppress them for a while, But everynow and then they come to the surface and strikes u and i had to release them, this a way to get releive or to resupress these issues again ...
@ Nany,
U r right, we have options, others don't, ALHAMDULELLAH, w Mashaa ALLAH LA KOWATA ILLA BELLAH, but this is not an excuse to just not to think, both sitiuations are equally difficult, u can't live without thinking and choosing from options, life is a big MCQ question, that u try hard to choose the correct answer every second of it ...
@ Faddy,
Yes we have this and ofcourse i beleive in that, but it is not just about Hard work, it has to be smart work too, u can work hard in a wrong path, to nowhere, There is no pay for that ....To excel ur work is not just to study 24/7, u have to think all the time, u've to plan all the time, like many lecturers said, USMLE is not about how much do u study, but about how smart do u study, and this applies to the whole process not just the studying part, if u excelled that, then ALLAH won't waste ur effort ... the 1st example will get paid too, but not to the same extent, u think u did ur best, but actually u didn't ... & this what worries me the most .. to be in the 1st category not the 2nd .... I hope u got what i mean ...
@ moudoudy,
How come u ask me to focus on step1 prep and in the same time tell me to read this book ??? no time for that ... hehehehe .... man this is so funny
Thanks guys for ur support, wow, i didn't think that a post from me will lead to all these answers ....
Thank u all very much, u really made me feel surrounded by very nice, caring & helping people, like Alcoholic Anonymous
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO to u all

Who exactly do you mean by that dude? D
November is kind of late for CS, but if I was you I wouldnt waste another year.. i dont know... also keep in mind that some residency programs do not require CS before you start, they are few though... maybe you get a decent spot in scramble you never know!

Egyptians always think thats nobudy suffer in their life except them!!!
the truth is we are independent and got life long sponsorship from our families!!!!!
western young ppl learn to face everything by themselves ...they even share same flat and they do not know each others ....they are practical...they want to live......
i met 2 dutch doctors in 30s and still in the second part of master and no problem for them to fail in exam and re-enter again ....he have porsche car!!!!and have holidays...travel round world...dont stress himself that master or his carreer!!!!
ICEHELL.....i put my brain in ICE protecting it from HELL outside!!!!

@ IceHell,
Plz get real, listen to ur words, u said ur dutch friend is 30 has a porche and travelling all around the world .... If i'm like him, sure i won't care about my exams and my problems, coz simply there will be no problem, all our problem r financial, r u even capable of getting a 128 car ??? ofcourse u can't, u gotta get help from ur parents, and their education is much better than urs, at least their Diplomas are respected in some places, even better than urs in the Gulf area, He has money, he has better education, he gets laid all the time so won't care about getting setelled and starting a family, his nationality is even respected everywhere and getting Visas is not a big deal like urs, life is easy for him ...
Our situation is completely different from him and all of his peers, u've to have matching variables to justify ur comparison ( this is something we learn in USMLE BTY )
Stress is a normal feeling, and u gotta let it out, just don't look at them and go into Denial ...
Denial (Da-Nile) is not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin Ocean, so how do we keep from Drowning in it ??? = > Meredith Gray ( Grey's Anatomy ) .... I love this quote because of 2 things ...
1st ... it is so true, and we really can learn from it
2nd ... because they actually mentioned Egypt & the Nile in a Grammy award winning TV sereis which feels so gr8, they know about us

as long as your aim is knowledge....and not of course the lust!!! ..am sure they will accepting you....
western countries respect the knowledge and in Egypt they respect 2 things (money&the hole)
Muslims always in struggle for the biggest aim...PARADISE

@ Icehell,
I'm not thinking about dirty things, it wasn't the only thing that i mentioned, and i'm sorry if anyone got me wrong, i was just pointing out that all their needs are satisfied, their lives are easy, and u even stated that by mentioning that the porche is from his Dad's, then he is Rich, so not someone to compare ourlives with ... even without that and if he only got his salary those 1600 euros, that u say not much in Europe, gurantees that he can leed a decent life, & still will be doubled 3 times when he gets his MD , u got paid in Egypt 50$/month,, they get that as working as delivery boy in just 8 hrs, u work 24/7 no vacations, no time for urself or ur family, u got No life .... u comparing the skies with the ground ???that's what i was referring to .... & even the other guy who was unemployed for a while, this is their lives, their system, he was unemployed and Broke, but he knows how he gonna reverse that and his girlfriend also knew that, that's y she helped him, in these countries, ur work is appreciated and every drop of sweat is wroth it and well appreciated and well paid, not like here, where u work harder than they do and got paid much much less than them ...
We can't be like them, that's y we struggle to be like them, to live their lives, not all of its parts ofcourse, just to leed a decent life, to have time for everything, i wish that someday i could work just 5 days a week, get 2 days off, even 1 day off is ok with me, i hope that when i get out of work i actually get of of it, here the calls never stop and may actually get back to just do something trivial, but bureaucractically crucial, a Dilemma we r living in that i wish to get out of someday, that's y when u start a road like this, exams and preparing to them becomes so stressful, coz this is ur Dream and ur goal, the thing that u work hard for .....
I hope u got what i mean this time

I'm not muslim myself but I'd like to know why you involve religion in the discussion I didnt get what u mean by that anyway..
Second, I guarantee you that those things you've mentioned ( money and a pretty hole ) are def very well appreciated everywhere in the world!
And Russia is not a western country by the way dude!
