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! 🙂💪❤
Good luck Sarang. Its a long road. 파이팅!
we are proud of you ,yes keep fighting you can do it ♥💪💪
❤ its all good. The Lord will create a miracle
How your family said "It's okay Sarang" melts my heart. Don't worry, my prayers are with you, I pray God gives you the strength and grace to move past this, you've come such a long way and God didn't bring you this far to leave you. You're gonna finish this.!
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.
My heart broke watching this but it also got filled with happiness from your courage and not losing hope. You’ve always been inspirational to me girl !!! Now more so than ever ❤️❤️❤️ you’ve got this ! A match doesn’t define us it’s a bump on the long road
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!
So young, yet so strong. You have my respect, for being so honest and brave. Don’t give up, this is definitely not the last of you❤️
this is so real and refreshing! it takes guts to share videos on things that are perceived as "failures", but ur not alone, and its encouraging for viewers :) thank you for sharing your honest journey, never give up!!
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 !
This is true 💯💯 i’m sure God has a better plan in store for you, Sarang!
Ang bait-bait niyo po shinashare niyo to sa amin 😢
Agree, but Elon did come from a fairly wealthy family so either way he had great connections and was set for life.
But I do hope this women becomes an amazing doctors ❤️
Ive seen multiple youtube videos of people who did not match pop up on my stream, so they may just not be sowing up in your algorithm.
I just found your channel. Just wanted you to know that I think you are amazing sharing your journey, and that you have one more person praying for you. My daughter is in the middle of her residency and I know how difficult these days can be. Stay strong and best of luck to you. 🙏🏼❤️
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.
Just finished watching this video and wow, I have so much admiration for you. Your strength and vulnerability is inspiring and I’m rooting for you as you go through the next steps in this process! You WILL be a doctor!
You are a real rock star!! Your videos have changed so many IMG lives going through this process!! Personally you've inspired me to keep going forward so thank you for that!! I know you are going to get in!! Just keep fighting 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for all your work and sharing your experience with us
Best regards and a big warm hug from Ecuador 🇪🇨
Keep holding on!!
I am so proud of you going through the Match season and SOAP. I wish you all the best, and hope you get into a great program! I really learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!
You are amazing. I’ve followed your channel for a long time. You are so well spoken and you will be an amazing residency/physician. I can’t wait to watch your journey. Everybody has timing which is meant for them and I KNOW it will happen for you🙏
I like how strong and persistent you are! It’s ok! It’s really ok! You will match! Maybe the road was a little bit longer that you expected, but you’ll get there! Best of luck!
Hang in there. I went unmatched my first year applying and failed to SOAP. Now I'm finishing up an IM/EM residency.
You got this!! Everything is going to workout for you!
Thank you for sharing your journey🙏🙏🙏 in a way it’s much more motivating than all the daunting “matched” story🙏🙏🙏 it shows the real struggle and courage behind all the preparations 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you and I am praying for you🙏🙏🙏
I love your attitude so much. I took mental notes about your attitude for my own life. I look forward to following your journey going forward.
I wish you all the best. I'm absolutely heartbroken for you, but at the same time inspired by your courage and strength. Please never lose that spirit!!
You are amazing! Love your resilience and self-belief!
Girl, you are so honest; really appreciate it!
You are an inspiration! it takes courage sharing your story - you have great things ahead of you! I hope you match to the residency of your dreams! ♥
Thank you so much!
Don't give up. I didn't match for residency or fellowship the first time, but I got in on the second try and have been practicing now for 10 years.
You’re so courageous, motivated and positive at the same time.
Eventually you will end up matching where you are supposed to be!
Thank you and keep it up 💪
You are so strong and inspiring! Very courageous of you to put it up! I am in a similar situation! We shall come out stronger and match in the upcoming season! Best wishes!
You have been an amazing guide throughout my step 1 journey
My prayers are on your way 💓 don't loose hope I know you've got this.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with others who are also going through this process. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God does thing in mysterious ways and I am certain you will succeed. You gave such good advice to eat healthy, take good care of yourself and stay on track. 🌻
This time next year I’m praying that we see you match into your #1 choice! Don’t give up! You’re sooooo close.
May god bless you! You are a brave soul for putting this up..many imgs will watch this and know they are not alone ❤
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.
Stay strong Sarang and all the best for your upcoming journey 😊
Rooting and praying for you! It will happen. In God’s perfect time 🤍
Thank you for sharing ❤ I will pray for you keep your hopes up.

Your time will come, Sarang! Rooting for you and studying with you on your study videos while I study for shelf and boards

I pray in the name of GOD something great come your way in the upcoming days, you will be VICTORIOUS in the name of JESUS!! Transparency is very scarce in today's society and it takes a lot of courage to share this difficult moment with us!
Been following your journey, I was so heartbroken when you didn’t match. Wishing you the best for your future.
I’m planning to apply for next year’s match, fingers crossed 🤞
Your video inspired me a lot not to give up. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have applied this season 2024, I am so nervous. How many interviews did you get last season? It would be so helpful.
Still rooting for you Sarang. Stay strong.
All the best Sarang. Aja aja fighting
Hang in there Sarang.
My heart aches and feels ur heart ,from my heart to you sarang
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Dr. Sarang Choi, and I’m really impressed by your willingness to keep fighting.
I pray the Lord opens doors for you in Jesus name.
You will find a great program for you. I know someone who didn't match a few years ago and via soap she ended up finding a great program
포기만 안하면 무조건 되요. 힘내세요.
Sarang - you will get your dream position! I know it!
Make this an opportunity to be Brave and encourage Yourself through hardship Keep It Up Dont Give Up God Bless you
Hello honey, I just want to send you a lot of virtual hugs, there is so much more fight left in you, hang in there tight! ❤
넘 잘보고갑니다 응원 무조건해요.!! 영상기대해요
Please can you do a video explaining about the pathway 6
💚
Hi could you please tell us how many interviews did you get last year?😊
God will take care if you
As someone who works in the rural EM staffing world this is extremely disappointing to find out that 500 EM spots were open, we’re so desperate for great docs. Hope you get in!!!!!❤
I think Covid 19 Is a possible answer to That people have realize how stressful Is EM in Terms of mental health
Sarang, thank you for sharing your heart breaking strory. You are so brave and enduring.... I will pray to God for your matching. I do not know if you believe in the Lord Jesus. But, your heart moved me into praying for you😊😊😊 Again, do not forget you are precious to God as you are now...
Hi Sarang! How did you go doc? I'm applying for this cycle. .
Which residency did u match into?
You should connect with Doc Aura. She': a filipino md who successfully matched FM and is almost done with her residency.
you can make it
사랑아, 이렇게라도 소식을 접하고 5명을 한번에 보니 반가워. Your journey is only the beginning and i pray for you wherever you are and whatever you dream of. Fingers are crossed. From 요한
So u got interview from EM ( in SOAP ) without EM SLOE?
You will get into a bette place soon
Sorry , stay positive
Good luck. Not easy to become a doctor.
What made you not want to practice in the Philippines?
I’m not a Filipino citizen so I’m not allowed to take the licensing exam in the Philippines - which means I can’t practice medicine there
@@SarangChoiMD Ohh sorry I'm not in the medical field so this is all confusing to me lol. Also, I'm from the Philippines! I hope you get into residency soon!
Can you apply in SOAP in EM without SLOE ?
I guess so. I didn’t even know what SLOE was
Yes. I soaped into EM without SLOE. Soap and the whole match business is an insane process and looking back at this vid just makes me upset tbh.
😢
Mam what is your specialty doctor? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
