You have no reason to freak out buddy; you seem to be in pretty good shape.

Get a good CK score + clear CS in the first attempt + get some USCE ---- and you are good to go :-)

GET ANY SORT OF USCE --- besides your scores, this is the most important factor. Also, try to justify the gaps in your CV ie you should have been engaged in some meaningful activity post grad.
