you will be having chances dont give up, as you have no visa required. But need to gain high score in the next steps 240+. Along with gaining continuous hands-on clinical experience with strong LORs and get a strong CV which is required for the application.

It’s unfortunate because scores do t make you a great physician. Most usgrads don’t have 250 240
Being an img is so much difficult. Esp coming from a no name school. So they use these criteria to judge you
You will see once you apply

Not to sound mean but this is what is going on. Even visa requirement is a must
But just be realistic and be ready for some difficult times
