Incoming M1 here deciding between WashU and Vandy. Cost is the same. Can someone give me advice on which to choose? I heard WashU did pretty bad in the derm match this year and don't want to be held back since derm is one of the specialties i am really looking into when starting medical school. Does anyone know if WashU supports their derm applicants?
Not sure what you mean by what you heard in terms of Wash U and the Derm Match this year, but both medical schools are excellent when it comes to their respective Derm residency programs as your home program. I would go with personal fit. Maybe even weather (Nashville vs. St. Louis). I think both are true P/F in preclinical so they're equal there. In past years, Wash U has done just fine when it comes to their internal applicants going for Derm.
