I know there's a ton of these out there so please feel free to move this or let me know if I've posted in the wrong section.

I'm a DO student and I was hoping for an allopathic IM residency (preferably a university setting). I got totally creamed on USMLE and ended up with a score of 196. I'm surprised because I scored well over 200 on my NBME's. I'm still waiting on COMLEX but it seems like most allopathic programs don't really care much about COMLEX. I'm not restricted geographically and will go anywhere that takes me. I just wanted to see if this was out of the question.

Thanks for any advice.

I thought you couldn't retake Step 1 with a passing score? Is it different for DO's?
