M3 here curious if people did not rank Stanford and UCSF highly causing them both to go far down their lists (they both matched IMGs). Is that normal?< UCSF is considered the best program in the country by many. They can do whatever they want and rank who they want. Stanford is Stanford, pretty sure they are in the same boat as UCSF and don't match far down their lists. UCSF also interviews like 20 people. That is a different level of elite. x2 <also being an IMG does not mean they are a bad candidate, some of them have already been derms in other countries for years, with tons of research in us, and/or phd's. they probably are/were better than other candidates x4< yea the IMGs the T10s match are always insane candidates x2
the fact that this M3 is insulting IMG's who earned a spot at stanford and UCSF is literally insane. IMG's have to work way harder to get a spot and an IMG who is able to match anywhere in derm let alone a top program is way more qualified than you, I guarantee it. x1 << The M3 person is also missing that the UCSF candidate did an entire UCSF pediatrics residency... and is now doing a 2nd residency< The UCSF resident has the following credentials: MD, PhD, peds residency in France, Peds derm fellowship in France, Peds Residency at UCSF THEN matched at UCSF derm with these impressive credentials and TBH probably the most qualified/impressive person they matched this cycle (this is saying a lot since their match list is baller). What do you have M3?
Stanford resident is editor-in-chief of a journal and did research at Oxford and Stanford! So impressive!!!!
< these M3s are on another level. Get an interview at one of these programs and let us know your thoughts then. x 12< lol this is prolly the same person from a few rows down who was trying to know which T5 offered best "clinical training"
I unfortunately matched at Stanford instead of UCSF. Will I be a horrible clinician as a result?/s
yes, no sarcasm
Patient: I think I have warts, what do you think doctor? Doctor: IDK I went to stanford <LOLLL x2 Imagine some people actually ranking one of the CA schools above the PA, NY, or God forbid MA school!
is this a joke or do people actually only rank Penn and Harvard for being ivy league schools over UCSF and Stanford?
imagine thinking UCSF/Stanford matched an IMG because they couldn't find anyone else haha x1000001
