u know wat i find amusing... the importance placed on USCE.
i m still amazed at how graduates finde the time to do USCE.

it makes no sense for ppl like me. i am actively working, and just can t quit due to obligation to taxpayers who in a way have sponsored my med school. i have to repay by serving the ppl out of sheer gratitude.

if only the PDs see the way i see.
raised eyebrow

i hope in my case, scores alone is enugh... sigh

Yes, graduation date is the date you got your medical diploma. I don't think anybody can comment on your chances - having a greencard is a plus. Good luck for your CK score. Look up specific program criteria before applying to programs.

All the best drcully.

Is it worthwile taking time out before that to prepare my list? or could I do that in the week following my exam?

Plz advise! Thanx!
