How important is your AOA status for radiology? I mean, does it help if you are AOA and does it hurt if you're not? I don't know if rads is one of those specialties in which AOA matters.
Not essential, but helpful, esp if you want an academic program. Soem progarms use AOA status as a screen (I have heard this about Wake Forest). So put down if you were nominated even if you did not get it.
