A lot.

A lot.

I imagine it's an even bigger factor for fellowship and landing a job, since applications won't be relying on USMLE/transcripts?

Radiology fellowships are generally easy to find. Nevertheless, fellowship is 50-60% about connections.

Landing a job is 80% about connections and 20% about the type of fellowship that you have done.
