Re-reading the Freida expanded selection, I'm surprised by how many people that the programs interview. For instance, last year, Northwestern interviewed 73 applicants for 3-4 spots. I wish more schools provided this sort of data. 73 may also includes their med/derm spots for a total of 5 spots (1 spot for med/derm).
how do we access this information?? x2
Other interesting facts: accoriding to program information, UTSW interviewed 65 for 9-11 spots, Mayo Rochester interviewed 55 for 8 spots...
<Northwestern may have been really high last year b/c they had A TON (I think 12?) of internal applicants (not including rotators - though rotators don't all get intervews).
I'm also surprised that their step i is slig lu below average for the general population of derm applicants.
look at other programs on there. They all have crazy low step scores reported. No way is the average for NW less than 250. I think programs lie.
<- as a reference, there were about 24-26 interviewees at the nu internal day (home students, away rotators, re applicants, and research fellows)
Oops, it was 73, not 63 (fixed). And its expanded listing specify 4 positions per year, so I have a feeling that it's only for the derm spots. What's the point of interviewing so many people -_-
