Smash the other steps, what else?
It's not the end of the world for you, bud. You still got this. 232 is pretty good. Don't listen to people who say that if you get <240 as an IMG you're screwed. That's total BS. Take all the exams, apply to places, and see things through to the end. You will not get anything out of this unless you take the whole ride.
Keep your eyes on the prize, you did well on Step 1. Godspeed.

True but all you really have to do is blow the program director's mind during the interview
Scores get you interview, not spots
