So, I have put myself in a very unfortunate situation, and I need advice. I did not match into gas, but did match into a prelim year. I think this is specifically because I failed CK on my first try (211 on second) and only earned a 204 on step 1. To compound my failure, I'm almost certain that my prelim year is a surgery one. Do yall think I have ANY chance of making it into an anesthesiology position with this black mark on me? If not, am I doomed to doing a prelim GS then a prelim medicine for whatever specialty I end up having to take? Any words of wisdom or strategies for the scramble? I'm top 50% of my class, and I failed because a LOT happened during my study month, and, stupidly, I took the test anyway, believing people who said it was easier than step 1. Thank you for the help.
