Bombed Step 1- Peds

[Studentcandle]

Another bombed Step 1 post.
I did okay on NBME's and UWSAs. Scored in the 225-230's. I got a 205. Pretty devastated. I got a 52x on Comlex (50th or so percentile). I want to do FM or Peds.
Although the specialty I want to do isn't competitive, I want to match near my gf/future fiance so I feel like location will be important to me. She's applying next year, and I am applying the year after her so we can't couples match. What should I do?

I'm seeing all these posts about reporting Comlex only, but did the rules change recently or something so that its now a violation? Any other advice?
Any other advice?

You’ll be fine

Maybe your gf could take a leave of absence, so you guys can be in the same class again and then be able to couples match?
