It won't matter if u score high on yur USMLE Steps.So, score high on Step-2CK n pass Step-2CS on the first attempt only.Moreover, Psych is not that competitive for someone to match into.
U can apply for Clincial Clerckships in some top hospitals in the US as an MBBS student.Keep in mind that u can not do so after u graduate.So, do apply for the same if u can afford that.
Best Wishes!
