I am a very average applicant for the match this year in IM. Step 1&2 is 227 and 240. Grades are mostly high pass through 3rd and 4th year. The real worry is I just found out I failed step 2 CS on the CIS which is kinda ludicrous since talking and connecting to patients have always been my strength and one of the selling points of my application. All my evals and Dean's letters highlight that fact.

I am able to get a test date that will give me a score back before the ranking probably early 2/2016. So far I have gotten a few interviews but seeing now that I have a failed exam on my transcript I hope to get your input into the list of programs I applied. My original goal is to match at a decent program in Cali but now I just want some program with decent fellowship match. I also found out that Scripps Mercy and Methodist only consider applicants that pass exams on first attempt.

1) What other programs can you recommend me adding to my list? And should I even add them at this point seeing that they will see the fail on my transcript?

2) I know there is little data but how bad did I hurt myself by failing that CS? Some programs flat out say that you need to pass on first try but Loma Linda and USC say nothing on their website.

3) My Dean offers to help me come up with an approach to address the issue if it comes up in interview but I also want to hear what you guys think. Should I proactive address the failure so I at least have a chance to explain myself during the interview or just simply submit both the fail and the pass once I have the result back?
