Hey guys,
So 1 month after taking boards I got two emails. First was from saying my Step 1 score was now available and the second was from my Dean saying "we need to talk"
So it turns out I'm part of 7-8% each year that didn't pass their boards on the first attempt. I'm going to start studying for this again in a few weeks, but I have this nagging worry that is constantly hanging over my head....the match.
I'm wondering if anyone on this board failed step 1 on their first try and was successful in the match. Specifically how did you handle this when applying for residencies. What specialties did you pick, how many programs did you apply to and did you match?
Any info would be appreciated,
Thanks.
