I was just wondering if I would have a pretty good chance of getting into a radiology residency (anywhere, no preference) if I did a year of research in neuroradiology at my school? In order to do this, I would be taking off a year of medical school, of course. The downfall--- my board score on step 1 was only average. However, my grades are pretty good but not excellent (a few honors first 2 years of med school). I know you guys are tired of answering this type of post, but I really need advice, as it is a really big decision to me to delay my graduating medical school for an extra year. Also, I contemplated doing research on my spare time now, but I don't really have much spare time during rotations, and I would like to fully devote myself to research if I am going to do it. Thanks very much for anyone who decides to reply; you advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
