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.nod

if u have good scores >90 on both steps on first attempt and US LORs u surely have a chance at radio.

remember...nothing is impossible if u have ur heart set at it.with hardwork,presistence and the right stategy...u can get into any residency.

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
