Hey folks, I'm trying to get a straight answer on whether I need a Step 2 CK score for Rad Onc interview invites. Right now step 2 CK is scheduled for mid November. My step 1 score is competitive for rad Onc, so I'm not worried about that. I am worried about not getting an interview if some place requires it. From what I've seen though, most just require it before they submit a match list. Is that correct?

Nope you don't need it to get ranked either. Its absolutely useless

Might need it to be ranked at some transitional years. The TY in my area asked for my score prior to ranking so good to have it by then.

I took it in December to have it before ranking. Not one single person at rad onc interviews mentioned it.

I needed it for transitional years only, but there are so many out there that don't require it you really should be fine either way.
