Some of us may be in the unenviable position of needing to scramble in Radiation Oncology. If you've done it before, helped someone who has, or just know the system from either side of the fence (applicant vs. program), and are willing to provide any advice here or via PM, that would be great! Thanks!

I know 1 person who's done it and I spoke to him briefly about it. First thing you need to do is find out which spots on the scramble list are real. The UNC one(s) aren't, so don't waste your time calling them. Wish I could help you more.

Just remember --- if you don't scramble into a spot, it's not the end of your opportunity to join a program. Once you complete an internship, you're eligible to join any program at the PGY-2 level out of the match.
