Hi all, long time lurker of SDN and wondering what my chances of matching into a solid rad onc program are. Reading some of the dread stories on here make me question pursuing this field, and because of this I feel I would only want to pursue it if I am confident I can match at a mid-upper tier program. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!
