how many internal applicants at Penn? How many do they interview?
holy shit that many?? is that normal for penn? I'm honestly surprised with that many internals all of their residents aren't from penn itself
< they have 2 dates so I'm assuming they interview 20-30? Also are they very internal-favoring...? I go to a top15 med school and literally none of our applicants got an invite from Penn
super internal favoring, just look at the list of their current residents
looks like they take 1-2 internals per year, would not say thats "super internal favoring" compared to other programs
they interview all internals on a separate date (already happened) and I think they have 3 dates for externals?
1-2 internal/yr sounds about right. I don't think I would call it super internal heavy esp given the number of internal applicants each year
They are internal favoring though -- I didn't just say that meaning actual internal penn students, I meant internal in the broader sense of the word eg, some of the current residents were research fellows and some have parents on penn faculty -- once all of that is taking into account, it begins to look like they take ~1-2 students internal from penn itself (usually 2) and ~1-2 students internal in another way (usually 2) which is ~ 80% of their spots so....
< so many lies in these cells it's hilarious << someone said Baylor literally had double-digit internal applicants though.
can confirm, not a lie
Can also confirm, I have heard 12 baylor from multiple students
10+ internal i believe <yes I think ~12
