Hi,
So I intend to apply to ACGME psychiatry and I failed COMLEX 2 PE (humanistic portion). I feel awful about it and I have no idea what went wrong since my OSCE's at school gave me high scores on my interpersonal skills part of their evaluations.
I am waiting on COMLEX 2CE scores and I have not taken any USMLE exam.
That aside, what are my chances of matching into a decent Psychiatry program anywhere? Will this be a big hindrance to my application. I feel that they may think that I must have awful interpersonal skills based on failing an exam that >95% of people pass.
Should I try to write a note saying I'm scheduled to retake? Should I explain it in my PS or make an addendum anywhere?
I'm honestly not lying when I say I have no idea how I failed the humanistic domain. If I would fail this exam it would have been because of my notes, I wish I would get some feedback on this. But nonetheless I'm due for a retake.
Thanks for any advice.
