you have been accepted for an externship......that's going to boost your credentials with the low score you're worried about. if i were in your place, i'd be worried if i couldn't find an externship or anything else to improve my chances, and here you are saying that you have an externship (this is the one thing that has everyone in a fix lately, cuz finding externships is not easy) so relax, take the externship, and see where it takes you...don't give up. you still have to give step 1, right? so work hard on getting a good score on that. my 2 cents

absolutely! and besides you will never know if you give up and be disheartened so quickly. i know personally of some people who didn't have such amazing scores, but matched and are doing fine, and then they're are some people who had stellar scores and couldn't match anywhere--so it's not just scores, but the entire package. so keep working hard, do your best--you can still do a lot.
