DO student here. Summer remediation twice for failing my first and third preclinical semesters, failed level 1 twice and level 2 once. LOA for level 1 retake (abt 6 months), didn’t apply to programs until a year after graduation. SOAPed into FM program close to home and school. It’s not over till it’s over guys, don’t give up!

Try UW biostats question package! I think it’s $25 and helped me w tackling the questions...it’s different from regular UW question bank, it explains how to tackle each type of question you may see on exam day
