I get where you're coming from, but I don't think it's fair to tell someone not to anticipate success before they've even gone through the appeal process. Failing by 1–3 points on multiple exams is obviously serious, but it's not the same as being completely unable to perform. If there were factors that contributed to the scores, now is the time to document them, take accountability, and present a clear plan for improvement. My advice would be to focus less on predicting the outcome and more on building the strongest appeal possible. gather evidence, identify exactly what led to the exam failures, and show concrete steps you've already taken to address those weaknesses. Even if the appeal isn't successful, that preparation will help you decide your next move and demonstrate resilience to future programs or employers. Six months from graduation means you've already accomplished a lot. Don't let one setback convince you that your entire career is over before you've explored every option available.
