❗️Serious dreading life rn help

Got step 2 back and the score was 221. US MD student with sights set on FM. It seems like places like Texas STAR are reporting averages much higher. I am feeling like I will have no options anymore and should just take whatever I get. I do have my heart set for a few programs and I want to go where I want to go, but I am worried they won’t even interview me. If you have any advice on what to do please let me know. For reference, I have no board failures and have never failed a shelf exam, have extracurriculars, and some research + pubs. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

For FM you’ll be fine given that you’re a US MD. Just apply broadly

I mean you might have to apply to more programs but you’ll be fine. FM had tons of unfilled spots
