With 6 of 15 signals as gold, how should I split them for Diagnostic Radiology?

AAMC's allowance here is 15 total with 6 gold — the largest gold share of any specialty CycleDoc tracks, meaning nearly 40% of your signal budget carries the higher tier. Most applicants reserve gold for programs where fit is clearest and spend standard-tier signals more broadly across the rest of the list.
