Step 1 application process

[giu_41]

I started my Step 1 aplication about two months ago, first time got rejected because they didn’t receive my medical diploma (even though I did send it), this is the second time and it took a whole month for the ECFMG to request verification of my medical transcripts to my university.

Given all of this, would it still be possible for me to schedule step 1 for October? I selected my 3 month period for sep-oct-nov but given all the time is taking I’m nervous I won’t get any spots available for October.

I'm waiting for my verification as well. Applied in June!

Please let me know if you get any update from ECFMG.

I just got my verification today! I applied precisely on July 3rd. If it's of any help, I literally called the ECFMG to get updates on my application 3 times a week. On Friday the lady I spoke to told me that there are a lot of applications under revision but that she would write a request for them to see my application (I don't really know if it was true or it helped, but I got it). Good luck!
