WR: You'll bless people everywhere you go with your presence. If USA loses, India wins. Please, keep in touch...

CocaCola, Mytime, Lex: thank you for the comments, believe me, I am much better expressing myself in Portuguese. But sincerity is always there. You made my day!

White rabbit. You survived a nightmare. You can survive anything. I am Indian and know people who made it in India after totally undeserved disappointment in USA. Opportunities are there in India. Go for AIPGMEE if you have dropped US from your agenda. After coming face to face with reality of residency in US I think AIPGMEE aren't that tough. This advise may sound put of place and I may sound like a moron but take it, I wish I'd have gone for PG in India after facing all the odds and ups and downs of supposed "easier" process of MLE and matching. Your future is bright. Forget about US. Go to India, breath in the air of homeland, buy books for all india and go for it. Roads are still open.

Dear whiterabbit and all friends.It is true that things are really bad here and we do make wrong moves.I wrote before also and I write it again.It is indeed not worth it .The sooner we realize it the better it is.It is impossible for anybody to even think what you have gone through in your pursuit of happiness and your dreams.But mind you,this is a country where more dreams are shattered than they are realized.For every success story that we read about there are thousands of people suffering humiliation and about whom nobody seems to care.They call people like me pessimists but I don't think speaking truth is pessimistic.I admire you for not saying anything bad for people who have hurt you and even blessing the country which could not give you what you came here for.You might have failed in your mission but this country and all of us failed you miserably because in your movement of misery we were not in a position to help you except empathising with you.I wish we had some way of helping each other.May GOD be with you always.

I almost cried reading your experience..May allah give you the strength and make everything easy for you from now on.
Despite all these negative experiences one have to go through because of residency in USA,one should not give up...we have to fight for something we really want, we dream of.
Praise Allah that you have your family with you and their love.You will make it,definitely and things which is best for you would happen.
Let me share my experience, I have done my mPH in the most reputed uni in USA, with the reputed scholarship.I worked there, had research experiences.I was working as a clinical trials coordinator and research fellow in medicine..yes in somewhere top in the usa.But I used to cry ,because I couldn't study and felt what I was doing is just taking me away from my dream.Money was excellent,I was on H1...but i was dying inside.And I have two brothers in USA...but they just want me to get married.So they wont understand my pain....so I came back to my home country.Remember,as I am a girl nobody was with me and still now its totally my fight alone....and I am not going to give it up.
I may have to start working to save money for everything...maybe I wont be able to give my CS this year...but inshallah next year....without dream..life is nothing....so meaningless...people r always telling me how stupid I am..but I know from my working experience the responsibility was so enormous..i couldnt have given step 1 by now if I would have been in usa...I have passed with a low score.I am going to try harder next time( ur fortunate to have your family wid u...for me..I am walking alone for a long time..and have to keep walking to reach my dream)

May allah make it easy for us.So that we can reach what we thrive for.

Best of luck to all of you.

Dear Mira,

The intent of my post was to make people examine the possibilities of matching successfully/getting a residency. I have significant disadvantages in my CV a 2nd attempt on CS, scores in their high 80's, yr of grad 7 years back, need visa, and not necessarily in that order.

My request to all the new applicants is to make a realistic assesment of their situation after researching the criteria on the website and looking for pr of IMG's in the prog etc and then deciding wheter they need to go ahead.

Its a long and expensive process..........so be prepared.

As for my prospects............they are not so rosy. But WR is a brave rabbit. WR will fight.

Miradautas:

Thanks... But Psychiatry hits home hard (lots of cases in my family), I couldn't deal with it in a professional matter, I think. I never understand to what extension the disease is responsible for the symptoms, and to what extension the person is making bad choices and reacting badly to life. Thanks for the comment, it felt like a confidence vote.

Dear WR: sorry for deviating from the subject. I am praying for you. You're a great guy.
