Hey...need some advice on CAF....should I put that I failed usmle once? I mean.,,,should I put down all my attempts, both fail and pass, or should I just put down the passing attempts? Please any advice is welcomed !!

I think just put down the time that you passed. What you put in shouldn't make any big difference, they will know all about your history in USMLE exams. But putting it in CAF is like highlighting your weakness. I don't know if my advice is right. You may want to check with other people.

Well, I was not right? Sorry. Since I have no personally experience similar problem. I apologize for it. what I wanted to say is, whatever you put down, will make no big difference. Since ERAS will release your transcript to all programs and they will know all your history.

,,,but .... if the secretary or the PD or whoever gets my caf...sees the failing attempt...i assume they will throw my app. in the garbage and not even consider anything else....if I put only the passing exams.....that is a chance for my complete appl. to be checked out...Does this make sense? Or does it depend on what is the first thing that progrmas check? caf..or transcript....??
