i think u shud ask this question once u have ur CS results...but yeah if u pass ur cs this time, and have step 3 with an above average score, i think ur credentials shud be gud enuff, but there is no guarantee....i think u shud research individual programs, see their criteria for eligibility, most programs place quite a lot of importance on number of attempts on cs...but there are also lots of programs that do not look at number of attempts...apply intelligently to those programs only....
good luck!

We Hope and pray that you pass this time. The game is not over yet for you at all.
Over the years we have come across dozens of people who had scores much less than you but they got into programs just with their perseverance. Our honest advice would be that you should not consider internal medicine as an option now. The top 2 fields that we would recommend for you would be 1 1. Pathology 2. Psychiatry Pathology guys would still consider your application because they dont have much patient interaction and so dont care much about CS attempts but for pathology you will have to build your resume by working in some top notched basic science research lab... get atleast a couple of publications , good LORs and learn the basic lab techniques.. You are done with your CS now and just waiting for your results so its not a time to sit back home and get worried or ask people about your chances. Its a time to ACT. Start your search for a research program right from the word go You have decent profile and if you can spend 9-10 months in research till next match and get good publications, learn techniques, make contacts and get good LORs ..... you are all set for pathology For psychiatry, they consider people who have a prior experience in psych We would recommend that you should keep psychiatry as back up as you never know about the match as its unpredictable What we would recommend is that you should do research in pathology and do part time externship or observership in psychiatry so that you can make yourself strong candidate for both Dont prove that you are a QUITTER Greatness does not lie in never falling but always rising everytime you fall

What you need badly is CS pass not so much step3 because your scores for step 1 and step2 are great.
If you are able to pass CS you will be fine for any specialty. CS attempts are not a big problem as I wrote in the international Medical graduate's Best Hope sold on amazon. Dr. Belibi
