anatomy

ditto that. Anatomy is key for rad onc, but you'll need to learn cross-sectional / radiographic anatomy, which your MS1 anatomy class probably doesn't focus on. Anatomy is still anatomy, and having good fundamentals can only help you.

I get 11 points off the word quagmire.

College-level physics that you've already forgotten.

The amount of physics you have to know to be a typical successful candidate, I'd say, is almost none. Unless you have a degree in physics or did research in physics, they won't expect much physics knowledge from you as an applicant.

That is, unless you interview at Arizona! I got pimped about the different types of particle radiation there during my interview.

not even. radonc physics is very basic and most isnt addressed in college physics.

For a long time I thought the quote had to do with Scrabble too, but it's actually Boggle.
