Hi YOUNANI

Just wanted to let you know they are holding the CSA results ,we don't know until when,1st it was Oct.,now they said Nov.My friend took it 6/04 and I took it 7/04,still waiting...

  #4

Oh my gosh :roll: I took it few days ago10/2/04..if they r releasing 6/04 result by nov ,then when will be mine released ?

But why did they mentioned 6 weeks then ?

hope we get it with in time frame for match .

Asmi,
6 weeks refers to the normal waiting period, after first results are scaled and released. We will be waiting much longer, unfortunately.
Where did you take your CS?

  #6

Not having CS results means no ECFMG certification...without which one cant apply for Step 3...is it true??!! Many hospitals offer H1 B visa on the condition of passing step 3 by dec 04/Jan05...so basically is it a no win situation!?

I Pray that you guys get the match THIS YEAR! I will be going for the match next year and I don't want to compete with you guys especially YULIA!!

I would think that you will get interview with step 1 and step 2 scores, need to be ecfmg certified by match day.
As for step 3 I think you can negotiate with them if they like you after the interview.
Do tell them about your problems.
I know of someone who had prematch in October for H1, they hold the seat for him until he cleared Step 3 in January.

Good Luck to you all!!
