A good score can help, but a bad score or failure can make things 10 times worse than they are now. I'd focus on doing well this year clinically and getting good letters. Take Step 3 when the pressure is off.
I would move on from psych. It hurts but you got your answer in that field and S3 isn't gonna move the needle. If you commit to peds and apply broadly I think it will work out for you.
