You still passed, not the end of the world. You still have USMLE 2 to go, study harder for those and as you said, do not get cocky. Overconfidence can work against anyone, probably that happened to you, only you can answer that question.
There are people who have had similar scores and have landed residencies. That is why I say it is not the end of the world. What specialty you are looking for?
Good luck.

How did this happen? my nbme scores didn't predict my score. I can't blame anyone but myself, maybe I got to cocky. Could anyone offer some words of encouragement?
Thanks
ps. If I could I would totally retake it...I know I could have done better, Where did I go wrong?
