I don´t mean to discourage you, but to be honest it doesn´t look promising.
Since you are a FMG and your step 1 score is lower than the average applicant (235).
It is not impossible. If you are really determined, then be proactive.
Check the 2007 match and look for the hospitals that match FMGs and focus on those.
Most likely states are NY, TX and probably CA.
Email the PDs, ask for externships, observerships, and/or get a PhD.
Show your interest and work hard, get to know faculty and you may get a position.

Hope it helps.
