I’ve been browsing online about what happens to those who don’t match and it seems that the situation isn’t as simple as applying a second time (like applying again for med school after a first unsuccessful try)? Some people even look for a career outside of medicine which is shocking considering how much time they invested into med school. Has it something to do with the second try likely to end up in a failure? Also, is applying for a less competitive residency a legitimate strategy at getting matched on a second try or does that not work?
