If one has a low step 1 score what are the chances of matching in a residency at a competitive hospital for residency or location. What role would step 2 and 3rd year clerkship grade play? How about doing a rotation at the location? Any other ways to make the application become competitive?
thanks

Not great.
Depends on the specialty.
It would help.
Research.
