Hi guys,
Long time lurker here and I just found out that I failed PE on Biomechanical sections and passed on Humanistic. TBH, I was surprised by the result but then again, no one went into an exam and expected to fail. To cut long story short, guys, please advice me what I need to do. Please be brutally honest regarding my matching chances. My stats are below:
-Above averaged DO student (pre-clerkship) at good DO school (whatever that means) but will need a visa
-Would like to match into IM at good community or academic center (but any will do)
-COMLEX level 1 600, level 2 620
-Step 1 240 and 240s
-all passed on the first attempts
-No skip year and no failed clerkship
-Strong LoR and Evaluation from attending
-Good extracurricular activities and has research
Really heartbroken right now and can barely function today. Set up a meeting with career guidance and exam review at my school
Need to ask you guys what are my chances; I am going to apply broadly (>100)
Also please tell me what should be the strategy for my application and retake!!!
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I passed my PE on 2nd attempt and matched to a good mid tiered local program of my town.
