my friend,
Your step 1 and 2 score are pretty good and you failed the 2 least difficult exams among those 4- I mean Cs and step3, I think because you did not pay a lot attention on those 2. Correct me if I'm wrong. Try to explain in your application (PS?) and during the IV which I believe they will ask.
Besides, I dont see the reason to quit
PS: I'm also a loser in the last match!

You certainly can... you already have your ECFMG certficate (assuming you are an IMG)... and you have USCE. you still have 6 month to improve your cred at max until the ERASPostOffice opens again... Don't slow down now, you are so close to get a residency... beleive me the most difficult part is over.
Also, start searching for programs in which you have considerable chances to get in...look for the applicant's requirements to see if you have a chance.
Good Luck!

agree with isther ...u should find out programs that value ur scores and ur observership..so next match u r more focussed and know what to expect from where...that way ur IVs may go up.. after getting IVs though, it is all how u do there..
good luck !!! sending u a PM
