Remember some people never pass - you passed it and that IS something. Don't give up your dream - once you become a doctor nobody will care what you got in Step1. It just opened another door for you, so go ahead!

Ok..if you can get 90's in your step 2, then you will improve your chance getting into residency.

getting a high-90s score in step 2, passing everything in first attempt is key now for you. as always, work on your apps.
one last thing, never even think of quitting as long as you have a feeling that you may make it. coz having that feeling means that you can.

no quitting! i got some stories for u...
a doctor who did the mle ages ago & passed w/ minimum scores couldn't get residency for 10+ years but right now he did. many of the doctors in new york who haven't got residencies for such a long time are now getting it. why? the time right now w/ this war in iraq, there's a huge need of doctors to fill in for the ones that have left. so this is your time!! there's a huge scramble to make the matches right now w/ all the openings. many dr'z right now are just somehow trying to pass so they can make the match in time while residencies are still takin in large numbers. see over time, these openings go up in number & then down in number just like how an economy goes up n' down. some will say this isn't true but i've seen these dr'z, n' i know these dr'z...n' i see the status here, i'm here in the states...i'm tellin u firsthand
so do not give up....

what do you mean by "try something else"? ... maybe the worst program in the US is better than the best in some other countries ...

the right choice or plan of action differs for each person. obviously due to different ways of thinking, and different situations in life, we may choose diferently. but, it is never good to urge someone to give up.
my 2 cents.

hi there
first of all, before you read the rest of what i am going to write later , i want you to realize, no one here knows you. we are not your relatives, nor your loved ones, where we have to make you feel better, or we will feel bad. therefore, any support or sympathy we are giving you, is REAL. we are not beating around the bush, and saying you will do fine, for no reason. its just as easy to not reply to your posts, right. so please believe that you will be fine.
i know a few close family friends, who got 75. and they are all in residency right now. one of them did scramble though, but the reason was because, her school made an error in sending out her residency papers out in time. more over, alot of peoples personalities is what secured their spots. they were great students in rotations, worked well with the patients and were dedicated.
all of them are doing family medicine in excellent places.
also another hting, one of htem is doing it in ohio. now at first thought, we thought, oh its a small area, she lucked out. but, it is FANTASTIC . it is A HUGE hospital, close meetings with the doctors, and there are such few students there, that everyone knows you, you get more experience, and its been a godsend.
so dont judge everything right off the bat
gluck you will do fine!

also...
let me tell you what a few of my friends have told me when they takl to people interviewing them for residency.
-did you pass your step 1?
-whats your step 1 score
-how many attempts did it take
-whats your step 2 score
-how many attempts
ive noticed they seemed to sterss, how many attempts more than score.
see if you get a shitty score in step 1, and a shitty score in step 2.. then your a little worse off.
work hard for your step 2.
you have family med as an option still so dont lose hope at all. the worst you can do is want to turn back now.

starbrite is so so sooooo right.... we aren't your friends & we're giving you the facts of life...
i'm being honest, if i hadn't seen so many people who just passed w/ a 75, (that too ages ago) i wouldn't give u so much hope...n' i wouldn't sit here n' post a second time if it wasn't so important...
if you didn't have a chance, i would tell u that u wouldn't, but this is my message: U HAVE A CHANCE, take it!!
God may not bless you w/ a strong score but He did bless w/ this opportunity right? Who knows? Maybe u'll ace that second step...u won't know until u go through the process. Maybe the score you have now will give u that strenght to get a 99 on step 2.
Think to yourself. Later in life, will u regret not going through it? You'll think back, I had a chance & I didn't take it. what could have been?

Programs care more about step 2 then for step 1. Step 1 is more of a requirement though it helps to get a good score...but getting a 75 on first attempt is not the end of the world. I have a personal dear friend thatgot 75 in step 1 and just matched last year in a good program. NEVER give up on your dreams!!! Focus on studying hard for step 2....the friend I told you study hard to prove program directors that he was capable and got a 96 in ck...and even if you don't score very high in ck you can do it...I've heard of people doing it even three times and matching...advice is...never give up!!!...nerver surrender!!! Shake it up and move on from the ashes stronger then ever...
