Just as with plastics,
slim to none.
None >> slim
Even with good boards scores you would need some awesome publications to your credit and powerful letters of recs from powerful people.
For future reference, this is the case for any of the 'competitive' fields like plastics, derm, surgical subspecialties, radiology, rad-onc.
Other things you can do to maximize your chances:
Get your application in on the first day ERAS opens, apply to alot of places and don't be afraid to spend money going to interviews.
Do a search for the legendary 'Cuts' who was a carrib grad (maybe from your school) who wanted to do rads badly. Despite the odds, he matched.
His motto was 'radiology or burst'.
Interestingly, there is 'another' carrib grad who matched at a rads program in the south but now wants to do psych. Check out the psych forum.
Good luck

I am an FMG from St. George's (US Citizen). I was wondering what were the possibilities of matching in Derm. What are the board scores one needs to match.
Thanks
