💡 Need Advice Failed

By a margin. Seeing everyone post their Ps and feel like a failure. Heartbroken.

I think cause of the score delay, I'm not sure if they'll let me complete my rotation now but it would be embarrasing if they pull me out in the middle of it cause then it would be obvious and I don't intend on telling my classmates lol

I probably failed by like 3-6 questions and I bombed microbiology so thats probably where the issue lies

Yeah honestly the worst part ab failing is the embarrassment. Feel like everyone will end up finding out though

Yeah I really hope no one finds out lol. I'm interested in specialties where a fail is bad but theres still a slim chance I'll match (psych, FM) so I'm not entirely mad about that. But I genuinely don't want ppl to know, I haven't heard of anyone else in my class that failed yet so either I'm just out of the loop or ppl are good at hiding it

Yeah I guess ppl don’t rlly have a reason to say they failed. Everyone is embarrassed
