Failing step 1 twice and being an FMG means you're done.

Step 2 and 3 were still hard exams.

MCAT was harder than the step exams but I barely studied.

-scored >2 SD above the mean on all of my step exams.

Generally, the fewer spots a specialty has the more competitive. Radiology has a ton of spots, kind of remarkable it was one of the most competitive for a stretch.

double checked before posting, but an old classmate of mine failed Step 1, barely passed on 2nd try, barely passed Step 2, and is currently doing ER in New York despite finding his way off our rank list. I know another guy who had Step 1 and 2 scores >250 and if I'm not mistaken were actually in the low 260s who didn't match an ER spot and had to SOAP into something else.

It's stuff like this that makes me question how straightforward the algorithm is. I know it's supposed to be simple though.

You got a 270+ on steps 1 and 2?
