odds of matching

Members don't see this ad.

was curious to get some feedback on odds of matching in rad onc

have 260+ step 1; mostly honors in preclinical and all but one clinical; have a poster/presentation/pub in basic science with a few rad onc projects pending/in the works

what kind of places would i be competitive for if at all?

Might want to try family med in idaho with those stats

Pretty sure you need at least a 280 to be considered for rad onc

1. 260 is the new 240 so your step 1 is a negative (as others have noted 270+ is an unwritten requirement)
2. You have barely any research which is a negative (3-4 papers as well as more presentations is typically sufficient)
3. You are asking if you are competitive which is a negative (confidence is key in this process which you seem to be lacking)

So, overall not very good chances unfortunately.

Check out the charting outcomes and look where you stand. There is a section for radiation oncology starts on pg 265.
