First USMLE score in our class.
I must take this opportunity to congratulate Shehzad from '05 who has scored a 99 in USMLE step one with the triple number score of 272 . Before this in my knowledge only Muzammil Shafi of '02 scored 273, a single score higher than Shehzad. This is indeed a great achievement on the part of Shehzad.

This result also speaks volumes of inability to of our system to judge our students on a truly international criteria.
Well done seized and keep up the good work in step two.Ameen.
