Primary care with a board failure, then rising scores on repeat and level 2.
9 interviews, ranked 7, and feel positive about the number 1 choice.
Stress and concern are WNL.
Apply to places that make sense for your story, and you will be fine. Even a classmate with multiple board failures had three interviews at places that made sense for the story.
If you apply broadly (e.g. you're from LA and never visited Mississippi but think you should apply there), be ready to pursue the programs with a story that makes sense about why you're worth the trouble of interviewing. Otherwise, they'll say "This candidate is applying broadly," and will likely leave your application until the end, if at all, even if you are the second coming of Littlejohn.
If you can get auditions, and you can get along with people, you'll almost certainly get a spot because the program directors don't like uncertainty about applicants anymore than applicants like uncertainty from programs.
