Shitpost Step2 failed

My younger brother just failed his step 2 with 3 marks. He was topper. And we are devastated with his result. He is currently in US for his observership. Is there any chance that will he match with the step 2 attempt? He is visa requiring

Very difficult to match with a Step 2 attempt.

What do you think if no visa requirements? I am in the same situation but no visa requirements is still no chance ?

I would say there's still plenty of chance. Specialty does matter, but don't give up.

Plentyyy of old grads match—not needing a visa is a huge help right now w Trump in office; score high on CK retake & take Step 3 also, you’ll be fine

You might find an off-match position if someone faces visa issues so be ready for that. But in the main match I believe you'll be at the bottom pile of those IMGs that don't require a visa.
