So basically, I failed the surgery shelf exam (missed the cutoff by a couple of points but ended up passing the 2nd time), and I failed my Peds rotation. It's a long story but tldr I was going through some stuff plus I had a really bad experience with one of my Peds Preceptors and they ended up writing a really bad evaluation. All my other rotations were pretty good, and I either passed or high-passed them. I have no other red flags, and I passed step 1 on the first try and I passed all my pre-clinical classes. I'm hoping to apply to psych in the coming months. I will take step 2 in about a week and I've been scoring high on the practice NBMEs so I'm hopeful it will go well. My school is in between mid and high tier (best estimate?) and I'd like to go to a T20/T30ish academic psych program or Community program either in the Midwest or West Coast. I know psych is getting more competitive every year, but how will these red flags affect me moving forward? Should I be worried? Should I dual apply? Lmk in the comments below.
