:confused: Hi Guys

I am a 2005 IMG .

Long story short, after having my family I just couldn't attempt the steps. I had given up. But now I have decided to give it a try .

Do y'all think that I stand a chance? I have heard that almost all programs don't accept graduates after five YOG .What are my realistic chances?

It's ok you can be brutally honest.

Also I was an average student. Nothing stellar on my CV so far. Haven't attempted any of the steps yet.:scared:

I'm in the same boat you are (2006 grad) (prioritized family first), planning to sit for the exam early next year. With 2 kids under 4 and working full time, it will be a challenge just to find time to study. But they say, nothing good comes easy. Good luck to us!

:redcheeks; Yes it is to difficult trying to manage both family and studies. I had made a few attempts trying to study but gave up because it just became difficult for those around me more than me.I'm sure old grads with family understand wat I'm saying.

Anyways I think i am done with making excuses.Thanks so much guys for chipping in with kind words. It really means so much to me .

Godbless us all . and like labgeek said nothing good comes easy I suppose. :)
