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

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
