Top programs aside, do people get into radiology with lower step one scores? Can Step 2 redeem you if you take it before you apply?
Any Radiology residents with bad scores on step I?

There are many residents with "bad" USMLE scores. Remember, getting into residency takes much more than just a good test score. Establishing connections and good letter of recommendation will go alot farther.

Yah I had a 257 and I was worried if I met the cutoff of MGH which I heard from a friend of a friend's wife was 260. I almost didn't apply and went into family practice instead, but the janitor that was working the hospital floor at night during my MIII surgery rotation thought I would make a good radiologist so decided to apply anyways.

Actually it was my girlfriend's sister who told your friend of a friend's wife that the cutoff was actually 261.....
Yeah... I'd probably go into rural family practice with anything under 260
