Members do not see this ad.

Last year the Ophtho forum did a post match poll. here is what they used. we should do the same.

--Board Scores:
--AOA and class rank: if known
--Reputation of medical school: (top 10, top 25, etc)
--Research: (none, some ophtho with no publications, ophtho publications)
--Honors in clerkships: (especially surgery and medicine)
--# and where you did away rotations:
--# of programs you applied to:
--Where invited for interviews:
--Where matched:
--Anything that helped your app: (ie: a phone call from your advisor to another program, big-wig letter of recs, MD/PhD, other degree, etc)

Last year the Ophtho forum did a post match poll. here is what they used. we should do the same.

In the meanwhile, those who have already matched in past years could put up a poll with these similar stats as well

 

[try-to-learn]

Board scores - step1 239, step2 243
AOA - not AOA, ranked top 1/3
Reputation of med school - top 20 according to US news
Research - 2 small publications in the area of Cardiology
Honors in clerkship - Rad Onc, Med Onc
Away rotations - 2 (one in CA and one in WI)
#Programs applied - 50
#Interviews - 13 (5 East Coast, 5 Midwest, 3 CA)
Where matched - in NY state
What helped - a string of research since college/ got lucky.

[stephew]

it was his 3/04 match

 

[Radonkey]

it was his 3/04 match

Thanks Steph! WOW, I'm not very observant.

Congrats again everyone! Best of luck tomorrow! And Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

 

[Thaiger75]

Match from 2003
--Board Scores: above 220's on both Step 1 and 2
--AOA and class rank: N/A
--Reputation of medical school: top 50 probably
--Research: 1 rad onc review article pub
--Honors in clerkships: psych, rad onc
--# and where you did away rotations: 3 (UTMB, Baylor, MDACC)
--# of programs you applied to: 1st time around - 30ish, 2nd time around - close to 50
--Where invited for interviews: 1st time around - 9, 2nd time around - 13
--Where matched: UNC

 

[UHS05]

OK I'll be the first for this year:
--Board Scores: 237 on Step I...working on Step II
--AOA and class rank: N/A
--Reputation of medical school: Good Osteopathic School
--Research: PhD in cancer biology with several pubs, 3 as first author
--Honors in clerkships: int med, surg (no elective honors allowed at my school)
--# and where you did away rotations: 3 (Mayo, MDACC, Fox Chase)
--# of programs you applied to: 44
--Where invited for interviews: 12 (offered 14) UNC, Mayo, Fox Chase, Jefferson, Iowa, Arizona, USC, SUNY-Brooklyn, Beaumont, Wayne State, Henry Ford, Rush (declined 2)
--Where matched: Fox Chase (#1 choice)

From what I was made to believe at interviews, my strong LORs really helped my app. I had one from each institution I rotated at and one of them was from a program chair. It also helped being pro-active in each rotation and taking the initiative to present in a concise, effective manner, and then reading up on pertinent issues about the cases discussed.

Congratulations everyone!!! And thanks for all the help and support!

 

[stephew]

well done!

 

[pikachu]

--Board Scores: step 1 237, haven't taken step 2 yet
--AOA and class rank: if known: not AOA, don't know class rank
--Reputation of medical school: (top 10, top 25, etc): top 50
--Research: first author abstract at ASTRO, first author manuscript in the red journal, 4 co-authorships, (1 manuscript, 3 abstracts, all in rad onc)
--Honors in clerkships: (especially surgery and medicine): honored medicine and rad onc (x2); A's in surgery, peds, psych; B's in OB-Gyn, neurology
--# and where you did away rotations: 1
--# of programs you applied to: 25
--Where invited for interviews: 8
--Where matched: U Maryland (first choice)
--Anything that helped your app: Lots of research, got good letters from home institution and away rotation, showed interest in the field early (first year med school)

--What I wish I would have known: 1) do a sub-I early in the fourth year, lots of people asked me why I hadn't done one yet (I did one in November, but it didn't make my transcript); 2) apply to a broad range of programs both in terms of location and strength; I didn't get interviews from places I thought were "not that strong" and was interviewed at a few places that I thought were way out of my league

 

[RadOncFever]

Matched in 2004
--Board Scores: Step I 246, Step II 236
--AOA and class rank: AOA, Top 10%
--Reputation of medical school: Not ranked in top 50
--Research: PhD in Neuropharmacology
--Honors in clerkships: Honors in Medicine, Family, OB/Gyn, Rad Onc
--# and where you did away rotations: 3 (UCLA, Harvard, UCSF)
--# of programs you applied to: 19
--Where invited for interviews: 11
--Where matched: Johns Hopkins
--Anything that helped your app: Rotations in top ranked places with letters from big wigs, background in research (although not cancer)

 

[dr robert]

--Board Scores: 247, 249
--AOA and class rank: not AOA, class rank between top 20-25%
--Reputation of medical school: Top 50
--Research: one current small project at home institution, no publications
--Honors in clerkships: int med, RadOnc, Heme/Onc, others
--# and where you did away rotations: 2 (one at home institution, one at private practice group in home city)
--# of programs you applied to: all of them...I think (~60)
--Where invited for interviews: 12 (Kaiser Permanente, Drexel, Cincinnati, MCOW, Loyola, Rush, Indiana, OSU, Cleveland Clinic, University of Cleveland, MUSC, Louisville)
--Where matched: Indiana

Things that would have helped me: applying earlier, scheduling more away rotations, more research. LORs helped at many of these mid-west programs as they were written by faculty/charimen well-known in the area. Matched at home institution (Top half of ROL). Maybe got lucky, maybe the current research with the department helped.

Congrats to all others who matched and best luck to those who will be appyling in the future!

Remember that for any specialty your board scores only have to be good enough to get your application reviewed. From there, it's up to you to present yourself in the best light possible on paper and during the interview, to present your unique traits that separate you from other applicants, and to show what you can contribute to the program. For RadOnc, I believe that the majority of program directors look at most, if not all, of their applications regardless of board score to evaluate the total applicant.

--Board Scores: 220's, Step 2 CS-pass
--AOA and class rank: not AOA
--Reputation of medical school: not a big name, no program at my school
--Research: 3 months of basic lab research in oncology at St. Jude's, one (minor) online oncology related publication
--Honors in clerkships: A's in psych, medicine, ob, and onc rotations (see below)
--# and where you did away rotations: 1 at Walter Reed/National Naval Hospital/NCI and also rotated at a private hospital locally
--# of programs you applied to: all accepting applications this year including those not in ERAS which I believe made 73
--Where invited for interviews: 14: Emory, Kentucky, New York Methodist, Mayo Jacksonville, Howard, Kaiser, Wake Forest, UC-Davis, UTMB, MUSC, California Pacific, USC, Arizona, SUNY Upstate
--Where matched: #1 choice, Mayo Jacksonville
--Anything that helped your app: research, publication, onc rotations: 1 week of Pediatric Oncology (as part of peds rotation), 2 weeks of Gyn-Onc (as part of gyn rotation), 2 week Skin Onc elective, 4 week Junior Internship in Medical Oncology, 6 weeks of Rad Onc, tons of community service, took all boards early including 2CS to possibly help separate myself from those only submitting Step 1, great letters including one from a former M.D. Anderson Attending and the Chief of Service, numerous honors/awards including awards from the Deans of both undergrad and medical school for service to the university, numerous leadership positions on the undergrad & medical school level, having taught/tutored on every educational level from elementary students to other medical students, varied employment experience, having submitted a grant proposal resulting in my organization receiving a National Community Service Grant (the only one offered that year), and I like to believe that I interview well, am humble, and am just an overall good person.

 

[ijokergirl]

--Board Scores: 242, 249
--AOA and class rank: AOA, class rank top 10%
--Reputation of medical school: Not Top 50
--Research: some basic cancer research one pub as 4th author, some research in ID on RSV one pub 1st author, research every summer for 4 years
--Honors in clerkships: A's in all except OBGYN
--# of programs you applied to: 30
--Where invited for interviews: 18, interviewed at 5 wanting to stay close to home for my husband
--Where matched: WashU
--Anything that helped: A letter from a big peds guy.

I am so excited that all this is over and we can relax!!!! 😀 St. Louis here I come!

 

[bql]

--Board Scores: 230s step 1
--AOA and class rank: not AOA, class rank top 30 %
--Reputation of medical school: Not Top 50, in fact it played a negative role during interviews at some big name programs
--Research: MD/PhD, 1st author pubs in basic stuff related to cancer and DNA repair, One mauscript submittted for ASTRO 2005, one RT prostate project going on.
--Honors in clerkships: Honors in all the three rad onc rotations, IM, Family Med. some HPs
--# of programs you applied to: 70
--Where invited for interviews: 20, interviewed 20
--Where matched: #2 UC Davis
--Anything that helped: (1) MD/PhD in basic cancer biology/DNA repair definately helped. (2) more importantly, I think it is my good track of interest in Rad Onc. I did one summer volunteer work in Rad onc before med school. As MS1, Rad Onc prostate project in a NCCN cancer center as a NCI sponsored student fellow. Did three RO rotations-- at MSKCC, at the NCCN cancer center mentioned above, and home institute for Brachy. (3) But most importantly, great letters from MSKCC and the NCCN center (i got 2 excellet letters from each place).

As jbernard1 posted, it is certainly true that one needs good board scores for not being triaged-some third teer places set 220, while some good programs set 235. But you need more than the numbers. RO programs want to know you really like Rad Onc per se, not the life style or money. All the programs i interviewed (total of 20) asked me "Why you choose Rad Onc?"--one must have a very solid, convincing and unique answer that seperates you from the others. Most programs asked "what is your plan in 10 years"--same thing, your answers must be very solid and convincing.
Most importantly, it is personality--one weird or unhappy resident in the program will destroy the whole team! So, be a nice person, and smile, smile and smile during the interview (this is a piece of advice one chief resident at MSKCC gave me before I went for my interviews).

[stephew]

excellent.

 

[RadOnc MuDPhuD]

Qualifier: I practically fell into Rad Onc and didn't think about it seriously until the 1st day of 4th year and in retrospect I approached this thing all wrong. I was still under the impression initially that this was the Rad Onc of 6-8 years ago where it was essentially non-competitive; and many panic attacks and TUMs later I learned the real truth. If I had to do it over, the only thing I would change is I would of applied to a few more schools (like 30 or so ); I didn't even know UMichigan had a program (what a *****!).

--Board Scores:I 246 II 258
--AOA and class rank: Not AOA and top 50%
--Reputation of medical school: top 40 but big programs didn't pretend to know where I went. This makes a difference I'm convinced.

--Research: MD/PhD w/ 11 pubs (half 1st author) all in cancer bio/DNA repair and some from undergrad. >3/4 in solid journals, eg PNAS, MCB, Cancer Res, etc.

--Honors in clerkships: Honors in IM, Peds & Rad Onc, but Satifactory in surgery. Scored 99% percentile on shelfs though.

--# and where you did away rotations: Zero. By the time I figured out Rad Onc was the field for me, I was begging to do a rotation at my own school for Oct!

--# of programs you applied to: <15
--Where invited for interviews: Invited to 11. Interviewed @ Stanford, Harvard, UPenn, MDA, MSKCC, UChicago, Duke, & UC Irvine.

--Where matched: Stanford (1st chioce)

--Anything that helped your app: MD/Phd and long productive track record in cancer research dating from undergrad (10 years). I believe programs saw this as proof of my genuine passion for oncology and during my interviews "I thought" this was something most programs appreciated. I also had very strong letters from my PhD mentor and IM people.

Congrats to all those that matched! For those that didn't match, it's not the end of the world, you will still get an MD and you still have options to reapply after improving your applications.

Wow, I was impressed with the applicants.. but you wrote those flashcards.. damn! I used the pathology ones. Man.. its gonna be hard to trump that one. Congrats for being at beaumont, love the people there. Awaiting your AJCC Cancer staging flashcards, will be the first ones to buy them.

aren't you already a millionare or something. =)

[to81]

Congrats, SBY. You deserve it. I'm just pissed you bolted from Match Day. 😛

 

[stephew]

"Top ____ schools". Well..... let me tell you. First, two applicants basically the same one from Posh U the other from, lets say ST George's in grenada. Posh U will probably win out. BUT the interview will be huge and can narrow the gap. Now lets say two applicants basically the same, one from Posh U one from State U. Nearly a coin toss but if truely the same, ok maybe posh U wins out. BUT now the interview is key. I have to say at this point having sat through several admissions processes that applicants often dont realize the things that make them get ranked lower than they want or higher. All the things you think matter do so. But in a few years you'll realize that everything about you come interview day matters so much more than you realize. How you interact with the attendings, the residents, and-NEVER FORGET- each other. Ive told this story before: one applicant kept wishing another (candidate X ) luck at his interview at a specific program everytime someone from our program was inthe room. Why? To advertsie that he was looking elsewhere. Applicant X ranked with us, the "Well wisher" didn't. That person was transparent. One example that is a great illustration of things that I have seen impact a person over a dozen time in only a few short years. Ive seen it work the other way; one guy this year got bumped up higher because in an unguarded moment, he was seen doing something very gracious towards another candidate. In both cases, the candidates never knew what effected their ranking. And these are only illustrations of something we see time and time again. Never forget this.

Dude, I had to call my mom - 🙂 but "bolting" really sums it up doesn't it? Did you expect anything less?
Congrats to you also - (ophtho?)

--Board Scores: 243, 247
--AOA and class rank: AOA, top 20%
--Reputation of medical school: Top 50, w/ Top 10 rad onc (UF, if you can't guess by my handle).
--Research: One retrospective chart review, manuscript accepted, pub pending (1st author)
--Honors in clerkships: A in Med and OBGYN, B+ in Surg, B+/A Rad Onc electives (Home/Away)
--# and where you did away rotations: UNC, loved it!
--# of programs you applied to: 40
--Where invited for interviews: 13 total (UF, UNC, MUSC, Emory, Louisville, UWisc, MCW, Beaumont, FCCC, Tufts, Cleveland Clinic, Indiana, Utah)
--Where matched: Wisconsin (#3)
--Anything that helped your app: Good letters from known faculty probably opened a reasonable number of interview doors. I think coming from a school with a strong rad onc program was helpful, especially in that I had easy access to a great mentor (Bill Mendenhall), who has long experience and a very good track record getting interested students into the field. Looking back at the interview day in Madison, I think the interviews went OK, but we went to a pub for lunch afterwards, and the interaction was much more relaxed, and I think the rapport was very good between the faculty/residents and ALL of the candidates, not just myself. I left thinking that, in addition to the stellar training, this would be a really great group to spend four years with. IMO, this facet of your interview should be at or near the top of your list. Very excited to be heading up there this summer!

 

[stephew]

youre going to love the Wisconsin program. Its tops. Congratulations.

on another topic, it seems nearly everyone else posting matched at their "first choice?" Selection bias for posters?

Board scores step 1 212( not a typo)
not AOA but top 25%
Reputation of Med School: top 30-40
Research: First author on ASTRO, ASCO and RSNA abstract. First author on AJR manuscript.
Honors in clerkships: Medicine, Surgery, Psych, Family, Radiology, sub-I, Radonc x2 with HP in third.
Number programs applied: 40
Where invited for interviews: 12
Where matched: third choice. Listed as top or middle tier program according to previous posts of program rankings.
What helped my application: Research seemed to be one of the big factors and my personal statement also really helped. I actually had two different programs tell me they interviewed me because they wanted to talk to me more about what I wrote. I did three away rotations and ranked two of the programs above where I matched even though they were not as strong as the program I matched with. If you are going to do a rotation with a less well known program and hope to match with them, pick a program with more than one position available and a program which does not take their own medical students on a regular basis. Aside from that, it is competitive but it can be done if you show passion for the field. You might sleep better during the application process if you are AOA and have high board scores but with research and a solid reason why you chose the field you do have a chance.

 

[stephew]

yes people with USMLE scores in the 2-teens do get interviews.

Hi RadOncFever,
I was wondering who the "big wigs" were and if they were from the 3 away rotations? congrats on your match; that's very impressive!

 

[RadOncFever]

Hi RadOncFever,
I was wondering who the "big wigs" were and if they were from the 3 away rotations? congrats on your match; that's very impressive!

Hi studentdoc82,

Yes, the letters came from the external rotations. I got letters from the following people:

UCLA, Rodney Whithers
Harvard, Anthony D'Amico

UCSF letter was a bit late but at the last minute I submitted a letter from Daphne Haas-Kogan as part of the brain SPORE program there.

 

[studentdoc82]

Anybody know where the people who matched in the top programs were from? I read about MSKCC accepting 4 people (2 cornell, 1 harvard, 1 germany) in one of the threads. what about the other ones? thanks.

Small correction -- should be 1 MD/PhD from Michigan, 1 MD from UAB

 

[user_name]

How do people get this information? Word of mouth from applicants or program directors? Is there a list somewhere?

 

[RadOncMan]

Correction:
UCLA - took 2 - 1 MD/PhD from NYU, 1 MD from UCSF

It's a small field with a small pool of candidates (among those that receive interviews) interviewing at all the same programs (at least among all the high powered programs). By the time you are through your 10th to 15th interview, you'll have seen most people at least a couple of times.

RandOncMan,
Did you really keep in contact with the other applicants from interview season? I am on your list, but I am pretty sure that I don't know you. That was the real reason for my curiosity. I have talked to ZERO fellow applicants post-match. I was hoping that a list existed, though, as I would love to see where some of those I interviewed with went or did not go.
