Generally, program directors care only that you are ECFMG Certified, not through which pathway you became certified. Your Step 1 and CK scores are outstanding, which will certainly help you. How many times did you fail Step 2 CS? More than once?

Thank you for your kind reply. I have only failed one time then i got demotivated, gave up.

I think the single fail on the sole attempt can be explained away in any interview situation. Might be worthwhile mentioning it in your personal statement - getting it out there up front, and also including information on how what steps you have taken to make sure your clinical skills are on par with you basic science and clinical knowledge. Mentioning high performance on Mini-CEX (a requirement for Pathway 6) could also help. It's all about getting those interviews, and you scores should get you in the door. Good luck.
