hello  everyone


   I am in serious need of some authentic advices from medical doctor students in USA. I will soon complete my MBBS and i am thinking to do USMLE and try for residency in states. I have heard it  the amount of hardwork , struggle and price one has to go through in states while trying for USMLE. Other options i have is go for higher studies and do specialization right here. Could you guys give me some insights on how is it out there for residency and other opportunities ?? Is it likely that one will get residency with mediocre preparation and scores ?? I don't want to go for something impossible to achieve... 

Thank you alll.

if you really have "mediocre preparation and scores" i'd recommend you not to apply for residency in the States because the chances of getting into one of the programs are rare.
and it's really hard, you need a lot of preparation, do really well in USMILE, have good MBBS scores, good letters of recommendation, etc. it's all because of competition. you'll be competing with other MD students in the States and residency programs want the best candidates.
so, based on what you said, i wouldn't recommend applying for residency here in the States. but if you have money to apply, take USMILE, and time to prepare for it, try your luck. if not, specialize on something in Nepal, after all doctors get paid really well there too.
