Hey guys, long time reader here and decided to start an account to get some advice (and hopefully pay forward some of the lurking advice I've gotten). I have no doubt rad onc is what I want to do but I'm afraid that my chances are so slim I'll be setting myself up for not matching. My stats are below. I'd really appreciate some advice guys (my Dean told me to 'go for it' and my assistant Dean said I most likely won't match and would definitely need a back-up option).
First 2 years: Middle of the class in mid-tier MD program
Step 1: 209
1 published paper (not in rad onc).
8 Poster presentations at National Meetings (various fields), 1 more coming up in Rad Onc.
Med Student Council President and various student admin positions at my school
Lots of ECs
3rd year grades thus far middle of the class
Thanks for your insight guys. I'm also interested in radiology and anesthesia but to a much lesser degree.
