2 trickles coming to lucky souls out there (Brown and UConn). Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
Thank you!!! Is it an AM UConn session?

I can't say much for Brown or Providence to provide a point of comparison, but for Dartmouth, you want to consider whether you can handle New Hampshire and snow for 3 years (for the record, I absolutely adore rural New England but understand that many don't feel similarly). You're really the only academic game in town for ~100 miles (UVM is 97 miles away) with 1-2 other residents, so you will get lots of cases and exposure, but not as much skin of color training as you'd receive in an urban program. For either, the Ivy name is really a non-factor at this point of our training, so don't let those factors beguile you. From what I can see, though, I see there's usually one person (in a historical class size of 2) matching into dermpath/Mohs, so take that as you will, and looks like people have gone off to be faculty members at some great academic programs. Residents seem pretty set for whatever they want to be doing.
Please everyone remember to take "malignancy" as reported on this anonymous spreadsheet for what it really is. You don't know who is calling a program malignant or for what reasons. Unless it is a clear pattern of malignancy (for example U-Michigan a few years back as reported on SDN (which has now corrected itself)) you shouldn't give it much value at all. If a program (especially a top 20) was actually malignant, it would be abundantly clear on the interview day as it's not something that can be hidden. So, I guess my hope is that you trust your impression after your interview day and having met most of the faculty and residents, over anonymous posts on this spreadsheet. Even if someone doesn't like the feel of a certain program, that doesn't make them malignant, and neither do 7 am lectures. So please, stop spewing accusations of malignancy, and more importantly remember to consider the source. Don't let random people convince you to rank a program lower.
<people arguing about which tip top programs are malignant and why, while I'm sitting here with my non-top programs unable to relate at all haha...ha x3
if the program's residents can't or won't say any negatives about the program, that is an instant red flag for me. -- Agreed x2
I interviewed at place where the residents had these pitiful smiles when telling us about their typical day. Then they asked me about work life at other programs, which really made them sad...
Exactly!!! These are signs that the residents aren't happy.
Roger Williams Interview x4
Does anyone know anything about this program? x2 <<<Rotator? Ties? <external, no ties x1
Is 1/17 the only interview date?? x2 (wondering same thing...) << they only had 1 date last year per old spreadsheet
Have all the trickles from brown been for 1/10?
yes
very unlikley to get trickles the other date since many people want to switch to that one since it does not have conflicts so they have waitlists / swaps for that date. There will probably be more trickles for 1/10 though at Brown and other programs.
would anyone be able to switch their Brown 1/18 for my 1/10 interview date? if so, please let me know @ 2020dermswap@gmail.com - thank you in advance!
Brown Trickle x3 <-- not OP but got brown trickle for 1/10 (think 1/16 might not be available anymore)
Congrats!<good person <Thought's on the program, strengths/weaknesses??? I had a brown trickle this morning too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
LMFAO I cannot
I'm thinking that trickles will come through early/mid jan, given that most give 2 weeks notice << am i literally the only one recieving no trickles, only rejections?
me too :( no trickle gang rise up x3
< I got a trickle and wlll also be dropping some on Monday to send a few more trickles out b <- was your trickle for 1/10 also? <yes

Florida St, Roger Williams, University Hospitals, MetroHealth/Case Western, Puerto Rico, rutgers --- Is CaseWestern for MD Still open???
KCUMB Mesa, Larkin-Hialeah, Beaumonth Health (Trenton), Still OPTI (Kirksville), Riverside (Ohio Health)
rutgers already sent out invites and rejections.
What is University Hospitals?
Case Western
Brown vs Dartmouth? (would also love a breakdown of football teams as provided for Missouri vs Florida)
As an Ivy League graduate, forgeddaboud our sports leagues. You just cannot compare the big schools to us.
totally kidding about the football, mostly just wondering about the programs if you have any insight

there's a lot left (loma linda, case western, einstein, brown ucla, fsu, temple, baylor in dallas, etc.)
I have about 10 places I applied to that have not sent invites/external invites...and I did not apply everywhere x2 <just look at the interview invites spreadsheet to see who's left
has baylor come out? (it seems that baylor houston already did)
baylor houston came out for internals only so far (pls correct this if I'm wrong)
Brown and UCLA are so overdue! On a sad related note, the Derm invite season seems about done...
<If you are low on numbers, keep hope for trickles. Might not happen, but I know people who have gotten them this week. << hang in there, I have 5-7 trickles opening up next week, January is brutal for conflicts
I haven’t gotten any trickles but I have gotten 3 interviews this week so yea, it’s winding down but not over
< you have more trickles than i actually have interviews. mazel tov
Hang in there, January is so crowded and people have to cancel soon. I hope they go your way, and wish you the best
Please, please, please send out your interviews soon, UCLA... x2...same with einstein and brown x1
what is going on with UCLA, Sinai, Einstein, and Baylor?? They are all way overdue for IVs > and Brown and Colorado
UCLA sent externals very late in the past. A few of the others wait until this week...and a few are very very late compared to the past haha
< when is sinai's interview dates?
Predictions for this week??
