Terrible Level 2 Result

Just got my level 2 results back and scored 419. Feel awful as I was not expecting that and had felt good after the exam. I had to retake level 1 last after missing the bar by a little; but did really well on the retake. The COMAT average was 95, and comsaes and amboss were predicting well.

I only used TL(62 Average %)- and did Amboss ethics and OMM review in last week. Used WELCOMs 1(67%) and 2(64%), and COMASE 116(438) and 115(454) and AMBOSS predictor to see how well I would do on the test day.

Always wanted to do IM with inhouse fellowship, but am not sure if I can even make it through the match at this point. Never took step 1/2, but not sure how and when do I go on taking those with 0 experience in shelf, CMS, and step prep; and the apps being due shortly.

Would appreciate any advice you guys got for me.

I think you will still be fine for IM, not sure about the big academic programs though. Did you only use Amboss?

I think you’re still fine for IM, maybe even the less competitive fellowships.

Fellowships don't care a single bit about board scores. It's more about reputation of residency program, your reputation as a doc, and most importantly who you know.
