Letters for Radiology application

Hey guys,

Do these letters sound ok to you to submit as a rad applicant?

- Very strong Internal Medicine letter (worked one-on-one with attending for a month)
- Very strong letter from a year of research (not in radiology)
- Decent neurology letter

It seems like from old posts the radiology letter is not that important. Is this still the consensus?

Also, is the neuro letter ok or should I have gotten a surgery letter? It's been over a year since I did surgery and even though I did well, I don't think they would remember me? The neuro attending guy wrote me a letter for a clinical research year off program and I got in, so I figured it was at the very least decent.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
