After talking to a number of residents and program directors, I've gotten conflicting advice with almost an even split regarding where to address a board failure on ERAS. Half say to mention it in the personal statement, and half say the personal statement should only be positive and to address a board failure elsewhere in the application. However, looking at ERAS I can't even figure out where I would include that explanation. The way my personal statement currently flows, there's not a good way to weave an explanation of what happened with my Level 1 into the body of the essay, I would need to add that information as a paragraph at the end. I think my own preference would be to address it somewhere else within ERAS, but where would I even do that? I don't see any kind of "other" section where I could put it.
