- 💡 Here's a video on how long it took me to obtain my scheduling permit! It really shouldn't take this long, but it took me a long time because of my diploma's delay. Hope you all get yours way faster than I did mine.

I hope I can pass USMLE step 1, I Don't haves a job,I am 36 years old all my dreams related to USMLE I can choose between my life and USMLE I would choose USMLE
,
I've always believed USMLE is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass
So sorry about that am still looking forward too take my USMLE exam on April just studying hard and praying to God I know I can make it.
After, 3-4 years of studying we are being challenged be the ultimate exam "USMLE" many students face difficulties in acquiring their residence from other countries
I failed my USMLE Step 1 exam 2 times first was 2012 second was 2018 and I lost money on review questions and also wasted a lot of time studying which never helped me .
Sorry for your predicament, license is for everyone just have to work hard and believe you’ll make it.
thanks a ton for the help really helped my anxiety to get better
keep going more power to you and your family

ECFMG does reply my email. I only get an automated response. Can you send me ECFMG email address, please?
@@Chrisema www.ecfmg.org/contact.html
Check this page and follow their instructions! You can email them to info@ecfmg.org
Mine took a long time to get verified. Make sure to start applications early. Like 5 months early from your eligibility period
Hello Dr. Choi! I find your contents really useful please keep posting. Some questions for you.. When do you plan on taking step 2? And do you have any USCE?
Hi Eleni! Glad that you find my content helpful. 😊 As for STEP 2CK, I'm aiming to take it end of July. As for USCE, I'll be rotating at a clinic in NY this August and possibly also in September.
@@SarangChoiMD whoa! Busy months u got coming up! Don't forget to post vlogs when u do rotations to keep us motivated. All the best 💞
Will definitely do! Thank you I really appreciate it 🥰
Hello Doc! May i ask how you found observerships? Did you go through some agencies? Goodluck on your step 1 score! 🥰
Thank you Michelle!
@@SarangChoiMD thank you for replying doctor!! I have a few more questions if it's okay 😅
1) Is having research publications a must to match? Or would the steps + usce be enough?
2) Do you have any idea how long should the USCE be to be considered a "good USCE" for better chances to match?
I highly appreciate the time and effort that you give to help us in the comments!! Best of luck, doctor!! ❤
Hey... i sent form 183 to ecfmg office as needed... 10 days passed since i havent received any message from ecfmg... pls tell me what i can do
I finished med school in January 2021 already and are postponing graduation for electives. I plan on taking step 1 in December. Can I take the exam without a diploma or do I need my diploma already?
This will depend on what your status is at your school. If you haven't graduated yet and are still considered a medical student, then you won't have to submit a diploma.
Hello Doc Sarang, your fan here! 💖 May I ask how long did the processing took for the extension of your eligibility period? Thank youuu
What was your preparation timeline? When did you start studying, when was dedicated period, etc :)
Hi Janelle! :) I started studying in Sept 2020 aiming to take the exam in December. However, as you can see on this video, I didn't get my scheduling permit till March. Hence the delay in everything. So my preparation strategy went from dedicated mode to non-dedicated mode and back to dedicated mode roughly 2 months prior to my actual test day.
Awesome Sarah, wish you all the best when the score report is finally out!
My staus is verified but i havent receive mail to schedule permit
Hello may I ask one doubt what do you mean by diploma here? Is it the final Medical course certificate after completing it? Can't we write STEP 1 before completing our course after completing 1st and 2nd year
Hey! What happens if I don’t schedule my exam after receiving the scheduling permit? Thanks
May I ask about the Step1 application? The last email I got from ECFMG said “Once ur application has been reviewed, ECFMG will notify u of the outcome of ur application.” It has been one month already now. What should I do next?
Hello Doc! Does ASMPH have a good support po ba for those who will want to take USMLE? And is there a good amount of alumnis na po ba working as a physician in US? Bcos I heard connections really does matter when getting a Letter of Recommendations for matching.
Hi! ASMPH currently has a good number of alumni doing both residency and fellowship in the US. But since our school does have a short history in general, the group is definitely smaller than that of UERM. UERM has a larger and a more active group that helps its alumni. (me and my classmates were also able to gain insights from their group haha)
Is it important to send the hard copies or can we just upload the documents via the link?
Hello doc. I applied for my step 2 CK exam and for the diploma section, I chose the option which says I'd be sending my diploma along. After completing the application, I uploaded my diploma via ECFMG credentials upload section.
I've heard it takes around 45-90 days for ecfmg to verify credentials while it takes them 2 weeks to accept the exam application.
I want to take the exam in the next 3-4 weeks.
Would they issue me the exam permit prior to verifying credentials? Or would they send the permit only after the credentials (diploma) have been verified?
My college doesn't have emswp , what if my scheduling permit is not received by me within the eligibility period ?? For example- i submit my form 183 in August 20 and my eligibility period is nov -feb. So what if i do not get my permit by nov or even Feb , sometimes in the mail system the permit gets lost right so what should we do ?? How can I fix that ??
Is there any time limit to schedule test date after getting scheduling permit ?
Is it the same steps for step2? Ty
Hello doc!
I'm a final year med student from pakistan.
I just applied for ECFMG id
I'm planning to take the exam in end of May.
Will 4 months be enough to get everything processed pr do I need more time?
Hi
How long ecfmg take to verify final diploma after submitting in credentials upload tool
What does transcript consists of?
That's why you do EMSWP
I already sent my form 183 via courier but yet not get any email from ECFMG. Can i upload via ECFMG App?
Do you choose to sent the file by mail instead of using electronic meThod (emswp) to verify your status? Or is there any reason for that? Thank you
In another video you said usmle package included mspe, but here there is no mspe in your application to ecfmg. Is it needed or just optional?
Hi Nina! The MSPE is needed when you're applying to residency. So it's not required yet when you're taking the STEP exams but will need it by the time you'll be applying for residency.
240+ is a cinch
Hi Sarang, what made you change your mind to switch from UK to US?
Hi! Here's the video I made way back to briefly explain why I changed my mind: th-cam.com/video/2qh6uOzgE10/w-d-xo.html
I just thought that it might be a better option for me long term. It really depends on personal goals and preferences. :)
Hello dr!! hl what is yur usmle step 1 score??
Hi Cristal, I haven't received my score yet due to the announced score delay.
@@SarangChoiMD plz make a video after u get yur scores !! i am also a med student from china !! yur score and success in usmle will boost our confidence
In what county niyo po i-tatake ang USMLE step 1 and 2 CK?
Hi! I took my step1 in Korea and I took my step2ck while in the US last year
Hi doc
Did you get your eligibility period extended?
No, I didn't have to for my step 1 exam
@@SarangChoiMD please what was the original eligibility period you picked.
I am in the same boat I haven’t received a scheduling permit but my eligibility period has started. I’m freaking out
@@iyahvictory7494 Mine was January to June. You don't have to freak out. If it's been more than a month since your verification, then send ecfmg an email to inform them of your status and that you haven't received your permit yet.
Hi!
I'm a medical student
Do I have to upload credentials?
If so, which ones?
your medical school diploma/degree in english
@@sidrakk8335 but I don't have diploma yet
Submit form 186 and make sure your school verifies that you are still an enrolled medical student
@@SarangChoiMD Thank you so much
I confused about form 186 . I have meet notary cam, but there is no notification that my campus will receive email from ecfmg and should verify it? after I meet notary cam, 1 week later I can apply for step 1 in IWA. Does it mean my campus has verified my status without I remind my campus to do it?
how was the exam ?
The exam was most similar to uworld and free120!
Did u get ur step 1 score .?
Update on my score at 9:36 of this video :)
Sarang Choi Good luck 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!! 😊
