Hello everyone,

I will be applying to residency programs this year and I had a question regarding the 7 year limit to take all the exams for licensure in some states. I ended up taking my step 3 right after the 7 year limit ended. I wanted to know does this affect me in applying for residencies in the state that have the licensure requirements. For example, Illinois is one of the states with the 7 year requirement for licensure, but could I still apply to the programs for residency there? Or do I just apply to states that have longer or no time limit restrictions.
I am not sure if any one is in the same boat but any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
