I received a score of 241 on Step 2, and I’m feeling quite discouraged and uncertain about my next steps. I was hoping for a higher score, and right now it’s making me question my chances.

I have already passed Step 1, I’m a recent graduate, and I have more than 10 publications. I’m considering applying to Internal Medicine, but I’m not sure if my score is competitive enough.

I would really appreciate some honest guidance on whether this is a reasonable path forward and how I can strengthen my application. At the moment, I’m feeling quite lost and would value any advice.
