My understanding is that Northwestern, as most programs with different tracks, is only allowing people to apply/interview to 1 track (Gen Derm vs Med Derm vs Ped Derm)

Do they say this somewhere? For example Penn states you can apply to multiple tracks

I applied to multiple tracks within the same program and for most programs a PC reached out to me asking to only select 1

wait i'm confused by this, I thought we could apply to any tracks we wanted? where are you getting this info that we're only allowed to apply to one?

Did anyone get a peds derm interview who didnt apply for peds derm?

I think this is program dependent

ok but my question was to the person saying NW only allows applying to one track, I'm not seeing that anywhere on their website/wasn't aware of that

I've heard that they're mostly doing this to people who applied gen derm and peds derm; they're trying to weed out people who are not geniunly interested in Ped Derm and only applying because Peds Derm is less popular and may be seen as an easier way to get in for people who do not have an actual intention to pursue peds derm

ahh ok I see, that makes sense. thank you!!

yes i know people from prior cycles who interviewed gen derm and med derm at programs (altho not NW so unsure)
