Ok...I know Rad-Onc is freakishly competitive and since I can't walk on water, I wanted to get some brutal truth (for better or worse). As an applicant, I have performed average during the basic science years and received great evaluations during the 3rd year (even receiving an award or two). Have a couple of non-published research experiences in the field of Oncology, including one experience at Sloan Kettering and a USMLE Step 1 victim of 190. What chances (hypothetically) would I have, in matching Rad Onc, if I scored 250 on Step 2, performed well in Rad Onc 4th yr elective, had strong letters of Rec from a well-known Rad-oncologist and did an away elective in Rad Onc? If poor or slim to none....What steps could I take to make myself a matching candidate given my poor step 1 performance and lack of Rad Onc exposure?....thanks in advance MS
