Step I Is 233/99 a good score for IM?

I am a non-US IMG (I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada) from SGU.

I recently scored 233/99 on the USMLE Step 1.

My Basic Sciences GPA is around a 3. Mostly B's, some A's (~3), and some C's (~2).

I'm about to start clinical rotations in the US in August.

What can I do to improve my chances of matching in an IM program that has the potential to lead to a subspeciality? I'm planning on applying to many IM programs and even FM programs as a back up.

Thanks a lot!

Yes you will match with that score. Look for something that is strong in the speciality you want and accepts IMGs
