I tried finding a similar thread that applied to me, but couldn't. So here goes...

I'm a US citizen foreign medical graduate. I'm interested in doing FM and I passed all my exams Step 1, 2CK and CS in the first attempt (not the highest of scores). I didn't match last year into FM and thought I'd try to take Step 3. However, I failed. That was definitely tough. And now, the exam is changing in November. The test will not be administered in October. Apps are due Sept 15th. My USMLE transcript is updated.

Is there any advice for me?
