I have a big problem. I failed Step 1. However, the reason I failed is because I was in the hospital all of lat summer and I really could not concentrate. If I crush Step 2 and get really good LOR's, do you think that I might have a chance, or should I just face the facts? I intend to explain in in personal statement. Do you think programs will understand? The reason I failed was because I had brain surgery. So even when I did pass, I barely hit the average becasue it was a rough time. It sucks that I found out about radiology so late, because otherwise I might have been able to do some good research or something. I am trying to get in on a research project right now. I don't know hpw much good it will do. Is it really hard to find a spot after a yr of say medicine or another associated specialty. I heard it's even more impossible to go this route. Do they look at both you step grades at the same time or will they see step 1 first? Have any of you ever heard of a story like mine actually matching?
