Hello all,

I just found out today that I failed step 2 CS. I specifically failed the ICE part and passed the other 2. I cannot explain the failure. I studied for it, and (thought) I did everything correctly. Now I don't know what to do as applications season is right at the corner. What are my options, beside retaking it?
Am I doomed for residency? is life over?
If a program director can comment and give his/her thoughts about CS failure, it would be appreciated.

I am a US-IMG, step 1 (215), and step 2 yet to take.

thank you for any guidance
