it runs rampant. Know of people who have academic derms in their family and they got multiple IIs and matched, friends with basically identical CVs/step/pubs got fewer IIs and/or didnt match.

The tricky part is that the advise, we are all given is to play the connection game. Individuals with family members in derm just by default have connections (and can get more).
