I failed step, and have to re-take it before starting clerkships.
I was given two options:
1. Take one semester off, and graduate a semester later (i.e. December 2023 graduation instead of May 2023 graduation)
2. Take an entire year off, and graduate one year later (i.e. May 2024 graduation instead of May 2023 graduation)
I know both are terrible options, but is one better than the other? Either way, I would be applying for 2024 match, so I'm wondering if I should just take a research year. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I would do with the two empty semesters (Fall 2021 and Spring 2024).
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
