one of my friends got accepted at baylor for radio...he's an img...... had 2 US LORs,graduated from the best medical college of our country and aced his step 1,2(99,98).aplied right after graduation(no gaps in cv) so if ur cv is exceptional...it can be done. if u have good scores >90 on both steps on first attempt and US LORs u surely have a chance at radio.

radonc is different beast from radio.. its more tuffer to get into than radio.. there are no set rules.. but i know radonc from home who cudnt crack it into it in the us and did im and then oncology.. give it a shot and keep im as backup.. what do u have to lose except a fistful of dollars. but get a stellar cv to justify ur expenses.. dont just try with bad scores and no research - it wud be a waste of time and effort.. gl and may the force be with always apurva
