Hi all. I am a non-US IMG currently doing a research year in a path lab and also applying to pathology this cycle. I have a one-time USMLE STEPS failure. I failed Step 2CK but passed that on the second attempt. I do want to address this in my PS but how should I do that without bringing too much negative attention to my application. I rushed with my exam and didn't do UWORLD and also had a terrible burnt out during the day of the exam. How should I address this in my PS? The rest of the application is fairly solid. I have three US pathologist LoRs, all from academic institutions and also I feel that my PI wrote a strong recommendation for me. Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Background USMLE STEP1: 223, USMLE STEP 2CK (2) 227, USMLE CS (1st) & USMLE STEP 3 211, 4 US pathology rotations and also doing research in the field of informatics.
