    Thank you everyone for your love, prayers, support, and words of encouragement. Match week was definitely a challenging week for me to say the least, but I am up on my feet and on it once again. Definitely not giving up until I make it! So let's keep fighting! 🙂💪❤

    I know how hard it is for you. I had the same feeling. I almost quit this journey because I just got 3 interviews this match season. I was devastated, almost lost all hope, and tried to look for a job in my home country. But I matched to my top 1 program in the end. Just want to say just hang in there, don't lose faith, Sarang. Where there's a will, there's a way.

    i really appreciate your motivation and confidence :) , nobody will share their experience in youtube who did not match , your channel really helped me a lot for my step 1 application and right now my step 2 preparation also , i wish you all the best and i hope you will get matched into your dream residency soon ! great people in the world get rejections a lot in their life like Elon musk and then they become super successful !

    You're so strong, I wish I could get even 1% of strength you possess. It is not easy, it is heart breaking. To post it here needs guts, through this channel you're helping tons of people. Trust me when I say this, any program would be lucky to have you as a resident. Keep fighting.

    Sarang I've been following you on twitter for a few months and I totally get how you're feeling right now. I just wanted to tell you, just like a person who I consider a mentor told me a few days ago when I felt so lost in this journey: God doesn't put dreams in our heads that we can't accomplish. Keep pushing hard, keep improving, keep growing. I'm sure you will match in next cycle. Sending you my best wishes.

    trying to match as an IMG is not an easy task. as a first-year US DO student, I'll be participating in the match in a few years and watching this video has made me simultaneously both humbled by the effort that IMGs have to put in for their match and grateful for being a US student. i'm hoping for the best for you in the next match season! you got this!
