Matching into Pathology with Step 1 Failure

Hi all. I am a third year medical student and have been fascinated by pathology since I first encountered it in my first year. Unfortunately for me, I've been dealing with some personal issues which has effected by academics which have led to failing step 1 after second year. I took a year off and passed the second time around and am currently on rotations. I am trying my hardest to do well on my shelves and evaluations but I am not sure how competitive I will be to match into pathology. I plan to take some pathology electives and do some related research at the end of third year and fourth year but I don't want it to go to waste if I have a very little chance of matching anyway. Please let me know what you guys think of my situation. Thanks!
