I've observed in past few months and my friends experience and few recent posts that Atlanta centre has more failure rates than any other centre followed by Chicago and Houston ....... thats why most guys chose phil or LA where passing rates are higher.. any opinion is welcome........ overall this year usmle-CS has had more failure rate than ever , take my point as this is going to be published in this yr of FA-CS, and the above said centre will be the worst hit....

Some people actually say that LA and phily centers are the worst. Do you have a reliable stats to back up your statement? All in all it looks like that this exam becomes more and more a personality contest that had nothing to do with ones clinical skills and knowledge.

A friend....an img from india....When I told her I have my cs in philly.....she was like ohh noo.....philly is a bad center...she told me alot of people fail there. She scheduled her exam in houston...she said imgs know houston is easier. I was like gee thanx for the encouragement.....but I dont believe in those myths....AND I HEARD OF SO MANY PARANOIA STORIES I toke my cs in philly this year....everyone was friendly....cases were right out of first aid....1 case from UW. I passed my cs. I am not sure how she did. My point is...all centers are equal....SP's have a checklist that they mark if you did it....its videotaped and written part......all goes to same area..where our usmle's goes.
