@Dolphin: Good information.

I have heard too that the chance of success is very slim. You really need some gray hairs in your brain and stern dedication as well as hefty bucks for this. It's difficult to get residency nowadays compared to few years back yet alone if you pass USMLE. It's the matter of luck too as luck plays a vital role in finding jobs for all graduates, getting good score for all students and finding residency for all USMLE passers here in USA. Good luck bro and think carefully before coming to state for USMLE.
