Just as the title says. I'm a DO student and I recieved a prematch offer from an allo program (one of my top choices) and later that same day also found out that I failed comlex pe. In years past this wouldn't be a big deal. However, now that the PE is required for graduation it means I have to retake it and have my results back by May 17 in order to receive my diploma. Since there are no open dates for taking the exam until May 7th, it looks like I will not be recieving my diploma on time, unless some earlier dates are created.
SO, my question is, should I go ahead and sign a contract without first telling my program about this problem? Obviously if I tell them they likely won't want to sign me anymore. However, if I don't tell them now I will have to tell them eventually because I won't have my degree in July when I'm supposed to start residency.
This is an absolute nightmare that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I keep pinching myself hoping that its all just a bad dream. I can't believe such a poorly designed, pointless exam like the COMLEX PE is now standing between me and graduation.
