need advice plz :( am - usmletaker2593

I need serious advice on this guys.
I am an IMG and I have no greencard.
I have an attempt on step 1 and 206 on second attempt.I am very devastated as I've been getting an average of 230 on nbme s.The same happened with me on my first attempt.
Now I need advice on how to move forward on this journey?

Should I move forward and try to get a very high score on step 2,have a lot of clinical experience,research etc.. and also finish step 3 and then apply for the match?

I've heard about people getting into courses like masters and MPH to get into residency?Is it a good option?Need advice on this.

Or with a heavy heart,should I just give up this journey?

Please help guys.Thanks in advance.

i have had a few friends that just barely made it past step 1 and did well on step 2 and still made residency. don't give up, if you want it bad enough then you will get there.

sorry my first reply got deleted... the admin is saying this is not a real account...

before it got del, i said i have friends that have gone on to get residency from not doing super well on step 1. i would cont. if you want something bad enough then you will get it.

i heard that as an IMG you should take step 3 before residency. just don't give up... keep going forward
