Just a question:

-Can you take the ABPS exam as a PGY 2? Or is it only done as a PGY3?

This is from ABFAS 110:

Residents issued a completion certificate from CPME-approved training programs by December 31, 2015 may apply to take the 2015 Part I examinations. The ABFAS will not declare candidates who pass a Part I examination as Board Qualified until the ABFAS receives a copy or copies of the residency completion certificate(s) and verifies completion of surgical requirements through Podiatry Residency Resource (PRR). The ABFAS requires verification of a current, valid state license.

So it looks like you can take the ABFAS Part I in the same year that you graduate, ie as a PGY-3.
