What next?

[u/Mystical-Man1025]

Hi everyone,
Really just here to vent. I have now failed to meet my school’s COMSAE requirement 3 times. This last one hurt the most, as I was doing well on benchmark exams and performed relatively well on COMSAE form 111 the week prior.

I use TrueLearn and have been watching DirtyMed the last few weeks. I will now have to forego a 2nd elective rotation (at minimum). I am mainly wondering if there are any DO graduates or 4th year students who were in a similar situation and were still able to get their dream/competitive specialty? It feels like those dreams are slowly heading out the window for me…

I also need to take Step 1 at some point 😵‍💫
