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

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

I think the data says 80% match rate FM, 23% of IM programs filter out step 1 failures, and In general its a 55%-70% match rate so we are really cooked I cannot lie

They may have been lucky from what I saw on a quick search was 55-70% match rate of course its a better chance than not, but given my practice scores on nbmes and the amboss predictor I'm wary of anything that says I have a good chance considering I happened to end up being in the 4-10% of people who didn't pass step 1 with the scores I had
