Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lexdiamondz" data-source="post: 22127025" data-attributes="member: 439894">A few things.1. Your SLOE is arguably not more important than a failed year. I have seen people with stellar sloes and solid board scores fail to match EM from MD schools because of a remediated year. The idea that you can overcome a year of failures with one letter and a decidedly average step score as a DO is naive.2. EM is less competitive than OBGYN and Gen surg for DOs because of the number of AOA programs this is true. For MDs its around the same.3. OP hasn't shown theyve overcome their academic issues. Their step score is average and test-taking isn't the only marker of academic performance. Never mind the fact that they had 3 years to acquire the same amount of information that everyone else has to learn by their second year and just did average.4. Nobody in the ACGME cares about comlex, but if you're a DO hoping to match into a former AOA program then your COMLEX score probably does matter a bit, although it isnt a dealbreaking.Again, I'm not saying OP has zero chance. But to say that they will definitely match with those stats is dumb.</blockquote>
