Feels bad.  What happens to such leftover graduates?

It’s complex. Because there are many unfilled residency slots every year. But they are for primary care specialties generally. Not everyone wants to be a FM doctor, and so they won’t apply that specialty. This means that they may not match and will have to wait until the following year to apply to residency again (with hundreds of thousands in student loans and no way to pay it off). So while yes the above statement is true, it’s also true that there are still unfilled slots every year that people just don’t want to do.
