How are people factoring in warning/probation status into the rank list? Carrying on as if it didn't exist? > I am also curious about this? How big of a deal are warnings? < Very rarely is a Dermatology residency program actually closed down (i.e. Roger Williams, University of Buffalo, etc.). The probation is eventually lifted. I wouldn't allow that alone to influence your ranking of a program. Go by fit. At the most, rank the program lower, but don't "not rank" it.
