Does Mbbs or Medical school exams score matter in usmle journey?
The USMLE journey is more than just studying and passing exams. The financial burden is real, the uncertainty is real, and everyone’s timeline is different.
Work hard for your dream, but don’t put your family, relationships, and life completely on hold. ❤️ Some moments never come back.
Keep going, trust your journey, and remember—USMLE is part of your life, not your entire life. 🇺🇸🩺
Days of step 3 preparation…
Back when I was preparing for USMLE Step 3, the path ahead felt unreal. There was only one thing on my mind: finish the USMLEs, apply for the Match, and somehow make it through. Now, looking back, I realize just how far I’ve come. What once felt like a distant dream slowly became reality—one exam, one struggle, and one step at a time. Grateful for the journey. 🙏
📚 USMLE & Residency Guidance: Research Is NOT Everything!
A common misconception among residency applicants is that you need 20–30 research publications to build a strong CV. That’s simply not true.
When it comes to research, QUALITY matters more than QUANTITY. A few meaningful research projects published in reputable, well-known journals can carry more weight than having 20 low-quality publications.
But remember: research is only ONE part of your residency application. 🎯
Build a well-rounded CV by focusing on:
✅ Strong USMLE Step scores
✅ Good U.S. clinical/work experience
✅ Strong Letters of Recommendation (LORs)
✅ Volunteer and extracurricular activities
✅ Meaningful research & publications
✅ Overall consistency and a strong personal profile
Don’t chase numbers—focus on quality and build your entire CV.

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
I wish I had talked to you more often. In your last voice note, you said, “Call me in 1–2 days.” Looking back, it almost feels as if you knew you were about to leave us.
This regret will stay with me forever—that I should have called you more frequently, even if it was just for five minutes one last time.
To everyone reading this: please take time for your loved ones, especially your parents and the elderly in your family. Make that phone call. Return that missed call. Spend a few minutes talking to them. We often think there will always be another chance, but sometimes that missed call becomes the last call you will ever receive.
You will always be remembered in our prayers. May Allah (SWT) forgive you, grant you Jannat-ul-Firdous, and give all of us the wisdom to cherish our loved ones while they are still with us. Ameen. A Father like figure left me forever💔💔, Please remember him in your prayers. Jazakallah
