I am a graduate of 1994. Last failed attempt was in 1997 but passed after 10 years i.e last year. Yes, they have their records and ALWAYS BE TRUTHFUL. And yes you can go ahead with USMLE if you have still the passion for it, Its never too late.

IM is residency with highest number of IMGs throughout the country.... so, with IM you have (statistically speaking) highest rate in probability to have your chance.... especially if this is what you want to do.... do you?

@doctor123
ECFMG record is just available for 5 years since your first exam result but as with the best of my knowlege, if you re-apply for exam, your old record will be recovered. In addition, Step 1,2 CK, CS and Step 3 must be finished within 7 years, if expired you must resume all exams.

Good luck.
