Hey Tachyon, my numbers were somewhat similar to yours, just one more honors in third year, and no actual radiology research, just a lot of research in a different field. I got AOA, my school is nothing special. I'm from Cali, got flat out rejections from every program I applied to in the midwest and all of NYC, seriously, not kidding. I think NY and CA have it out for each other because I got interviews everywhere in CA except UCSF which likes the big name schools apparently. Matched in CA.
And clw, Mayo is actually not that bad to get into if youre from MN. I personally know someone with Step1 in the 230s and Step2 in the 250s and minimal research, +AOA that got into Mayo. Those numbers aren't that great, but this person is actually from rochester and did school in CA. Imagine that, people actually come from there.
And you do need a letter from Med. I had One rads, one research, one med, one surg. Two rads is fine if one is focused on research. None of my letter writers were huge names at all.
