is there anyone who failed and still matched? - usmlegirl2

i know it sounds lame but please excuse me, i wanted to know if anyone failed and is an almost old grad, no visa issues, avg scores/low scores, and stillmatched anywhere in any field? please answer as i'm desperate for this to keep going in this journey to nowhere.

i am yet to take the exam but failing in nbme and pressure from family and everyone to take this damn exam. please no sugar coating. if there is no hope for ppl like me, i want to move ahead and be useful in this country and in life.

I heard someone did, but not old grad.

Perhaps focus your energy to do well 2nd time?

You can explain away one failing grade but not two.

Both old grad and low scores are hard to match with. I can understand pressure from your family. I guess they're anxious to see you in residency by now. Don't worry, with a clear head, give your NBME's and USMLE World, and keep practicing.
