Reinforce your credentials... obtain USCE and obtain better LORS, also try to apply to programs without requirements in usmle scores. If you spent a fortune already, do not waste all that investment and try again.
Good Luck!

LoRs are very important.
Apply wisely according to selection criteria and widely in different specialty. So, you can save money on ERAS as long as you apply to a limited number of programs.

Lucky, don't give up! First of all you have to decide wisely over where you will want to apply. After having your mind settle, do observeships in those programs, giving more than 100%: arrive early, go home after other students have gone, show high interest in the program, show no hurry! It is very important for you to get known by the program.
My scores were lower than yours: 79 (second attempt), 77 but I decided on one program (of course, one I thought I will have chances) and gave 200%, answer the questions asked in rounds, presented a case (by my own initiative), bring new information for my peers and discussed it in the rounds, etc...
Good Luck!
