Got my Step 1 score back today and was happy to pass but crushed when I saw that I got a 211. Can't say I'm surprised and knew I could do significantly better....but it just didn't happen for me and the gut punch was pretty overwhelming. With that kind of score can I even hope to match into FM or IM in a place that isn't in the total middle of nowhere? Sorry guys, I'm just feeling sooooo dejected and crushed right now.

Can I ask what was your UW 1st pass average? As for your score - it's not great, but perfectly fine for vast FM and IM locations (except most competitive ones). Remember when we were pre-meds and thought MCAT was everything lol? Same thing now - wait until you'll be in residency or attending and you'll laugh at yourself being worried about such nonsense. Attendings laugh at us MS2/3 students who think step 1 score is everything, you need 240 to match in FM or IM and OMG life is over lol. SDN is full of such crap.
