First congratulations!

Look into the visa situation asap. It can take awhile. Are you planning on getting a j1 visa (must return to country of residency for 2 years upon completing residency) or H1b (must have a residency that will sponsor you).

Your score is good, how's your english?

Research is a must these days. If you have the time and the inclination, please try and do some sort of volunteer work in your area of interest: clinic work, research work, papers, whatever!

Its tough to get an obsership in the states but any U.S. experience is a plus.

No, your score on step 2 ck will not influence your visa status or its speed BUT if a school really wants you and your scores on both exams are good, it might help you get the h1b. Its a balancing game my friend....
