Hi Umar ! Great work, I find this a very good forum for budding doctors to have the expertise advice. I have a question. I want to pursue mle but all i have to show is i have unclean CV because i failed second year subjects all four, third year i was detained in one subject and had failed in another, and now that i just gave my final year exams, i cleared all except one. I want to know...Will my medical degree holding so many backlogs give me a draw back for pursuing mle or while the visa processing . How far will this effect me in pursuing mle or rather in what ways ? That's the main thing i want to know because i want to build my life out of this awkward scenarios i made up myself. I'll be glad to hear it from you. Thank you.
