I discovered this forum today, as I have been thinking about rad-onc for a while and am trying to learn as much as possible. during my first three years in med school I became interested in neurosurgery, and am currently taking a year off doing research in that field. Through NS I discovered rad-onc and thought it was fascinating. I think I might actually like it more than NS but from what I have read, and the reputation it has, I wonder if I even stand a chance at matching. I was looking for a stats page of average scores etc... but can't find anything updated. I really appreciate your honest input, don't be affraid to be brutal, I have thick skin
