What anonymous posters said
Anonymous posters describe the program as based in a rural New Hampshire setting, noting it functions as the main academic center within roughly 100 miles and offers substantial case exposure but comparatively less skin-of-color training. Several posts characterize the surrounding area as safe, and multiple commenters reference a pre-interview dinner or social event as part of interview day. A few posts mention an additional position being added in certain years.

1 entry❌1. Next to no skin of color, almost all skin checks all day everyday. Very high clinic volume and residents worked very hard while in clinic, lectures during lunch everyday, seems like little admin time. Location is very rough (there are no Ubers available).

One of my friends said that a girl from A&M was robbed at gunpoint at the Texas Med Center, the evening before her prelim interview. Is it that unsafe?
Yay don't rank them, very unsafe, you may be killed - Agree

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.

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.

As an Ivy League graduate, forgeddaboud our sports leagues. You just cannot compare the big schools to us.

Will derm interview invites be offered on Thursday 11/7/19 following a silent Wednesday (1 derm rejection)? Yes: 2 No: 0 Programs: WashU (regular), Stanford, Minnesota Actual: Recap of Wednesday 11/6/19 Invites: 0 Rejections: 1 (U of Rochester) TY/Prelim released today (2): U Pitt (Prelim and TY), Brockton (TY) Derm interviews released since Monday (12 first time offers, 1 research track, 1 second wave): U New Mexico, U Arkansas, Oklahoma, Eastern Virginia, Howard, NYU, Mississippi, Medical College of Wisconsin, Georgetown, Wash U (Research), Henry Ford, George Washington, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital and Cooper (2nd wave) TY/Prelim released this week: UVA (Prelim), U Pitt (Prelim and TY) and Brockton (TY) As of 8:40 EST: 63% of derm programs have not sent out interviews and a sum total of ~171/447 (38%) derm spots have been offered interviews. What's the point? IT IS EARLY and the overwhelming majority of spots have not been offered interviews yet AND even the ones that have been offered may not have offered for all their spots. On this equivalent day (i.e. first Wednesday of the month) last year: 1 interview went out (George Washington University, which came out yesterday for us). On tomorrow’s equivalent day (i.e. first Thursday of November) last years: 6 derm interviews went out and 1 med/derm interview! (Wayne State, U Minnesota, Dartmouth, Columbia, Virginia Tech, Southern Illinois and Washington MedDerm) Looking ahead: This week last year was a busy week for interviews with 16 being released in total! Goodnight everyone! -SD
<< This is a long post with some relevant data in addition to your predictions. Hope you all find this useful and have a goodnight! -SD << You're #1 in my heart. Thanks SD <3 x7 <<< SheetDaddy fan here, but I think if the posts were smaller, more morsels/highlights, like the first program prediction/tally template - we'd probably get most people on board. On mobile a post like this to the left takes up entire screen

<-- Download the "Calm" App. << why? << because this is neurotic! << Chill out bro, don't read it if you don't like it instead of being negative. Maybe you should spend your time using the "calm" app instead of being up everyones ass x6 << this actually is pretty neurotic, and I don't think saying something is neurotic should invite such a volatile response. Like damn this whole SD shit is becoming cult-like and stupid.

Any big city is going to be dangerous, Houston is no exception. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you're really worried about safety there are many programs in safe areas (Dartmouth, Geisinger, Vermont etc)
