I don't interview for psych but see http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcomes2009v3.pdf psychiatry section.
For Psych the Mean USMLE Step 1 score for IMGs who matched was 207, for those who didn't was 198
The Mean USMLE Step 2 score for IMGs who matched was 209, for those who didn't was 199.

Also see page 244 and 246 for more details.
50 people matched with step 2 scores in your range - that is 3% of those who sent in a rank list for psych (1500 applicants).
