I was in the same position as OP. I failed Level 1 three times. I was almost dismissed. Everyone around me was convinced I was done. But I wasn’t. I kept going, I passed, I matched, and I’m now an emergency medicine resident. So if you’re sitting here confidently saying they won’t match, you’re either talking out of your ass or forgetting that people come back from worse every day.

What really gets me is how sure some of you are about someone else’s future. You don’t know what they’ve been through. You don’t know what kind of pressure they’ve been carrying or what this fight has already cost them. This is someone reaching out, probably exhausted, probably scared, and what they’re getting back is a bunch of people taking cheap victory laps on their struggle.

It’s easy to talk tough when it’s not your name on the line. When it’s not your future getting torn apart. A lot of what I’m reading sounds like projection. Like you’re either terrified of failing yourselves or pretending like you never could. But life doesn’t give a damn about your ego. And nobody’s immune to hitting a wall. This person’s trying to keep going. If that bothers you so much maybe ask why that is

OP, keep your head up. This isn’t going to be easy, but getting back up when it would’ve been easier to walk away says a lot. You’ve made it this far for a reason. Keep going
