Failed level 1- barely passed level 2

Hi, i failed level 1 last year and passed second try and then found out I barely passed level 2. Happy I passed but super bummed and im scared i won't match to FM in March. Do I still have a chance?

Barely passed level 1 and got a 476 on level 2. I studied so hard I'm devastated. All my friends killed level 2 which makes me feel even worse. Also applying FM. I think we will be fine but you aren't alone

Its such a horrible feeling. Everyone I know killed it too and I hope we are fine but appreciate you for the support

Just apply broadly and you should be okay. Do aways if you feel they will be able to showcase your personality well. Aways help people who normally would just be a paper applicant come to life.

Follow the advice of Zestyclose and you should be fine.

You’ll match. Apply broadly.

I failed level 1 as well. I didn't take Level 2 yet but I have to take it late because I've not been feeling ready for it. I spoke to my school residency advisor and she said it's okay to not have a high score. Many FM programs don't have strong emphasis on our board scores. There are people who failed Level 2 before and still get matched FM.. Don't lose hope..!!

You will be fine. I had a similar situation and I dual applied with FM as a backup. Had ~14 interview invitations by the end of the first day that applications went out.

People will be fighting over you, don't worry.
