step 3 a good idea right after step 2?

[Thebestofus]

I am an FMG from a Caribbean school (american citizen). Med school grades are decent (Bs). Step 1 is 235, and taking step 2 in 2 weeks (all predictive scores are saying 230-240). Assuming I get a step 2 score in that range, I was wondering if taking step 3 soon and getting a decent score on it (230ish) would help me in the match. I'm shooting for surgery but would also be happy with a good IM program in a nice city.

So bottom line, good step 3 in addition to good step 1 and 2 will it make me a better applicant for match?
