Second attempt on Step 2 CK and matched?

[ResQuest]

Hello All,

Please help!! I passed Step 1 CK and Step 2 CS on the first attempt, but failed Step 2CK (passed second attempt with 86.) I am a foreign grad who has been working in clinical research in the USA for the past 2.5 years and will apply to for the match this September. (Graduated from med school 2.5 years ago.)

-What are my chances of matching in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine?

-Anyone else matched with a similar story? and if so, where?

I'm quite worried--your advice will be much appreciated!!
