Emory Univ SOM-GA

200-400 (some places like emory)

emory had 600+ last year

Why is Emory so hard to get?

Emory and Miami are the two most difficult aways to get bc they are top programs that guarantee an IV (they give very few aways) >👍

is this for 2026 or 2027?

2026

Rush interviewed everyone who did an away this year, didn't happen previous years but thought it would be helpful to know! Great program!

theres a tab in the 25-26 sheet about aways that didnt interview rotators

i do not rec OSU, it is an awful away. rude faculty, rude residents. you will be miserable. easy away to get but occupy your time with another school

< echoing this. they interview all rotators but they are an interesting bunch..

I think the top program that guarantees an interview if you do an away is Miami. But they only take 4-8 rotators per year so if you get one you can be pretty well assured they like your app. They usually match 1-2 away rotators also despite having 30+ internals per year. Emory also guarantees an away. As does Tulane. Some texas programs do as well

Texas doesn't seem to match non-Texans often tho

UTSW does occasionally

if you feel comfortable w/ mentor would ask more questions. if you're really interested in doing away I would just do it and experience for yourself.

I did try to probe, but they're at a different institution and 10+ years out from training, so I just heard hearsay that they heard from other mentees who rotated/matched there!

oh ok well i can confirm that yes it's problematic but not comprehensively so..there are some amazing supportive faculty but like one that should be investigated for real.

what did you hear I can confirm or deny (from my perspective)

which attending

OP here, thank you for sharing your insights! do you get the sense that residents are overall happy/feel well supported?

From what I've observed, the residents seemed to get along well with each other but I saw a situation where someone got reported by a faculty member and had to be on probation, and another resident was on probation for something academic i think? emory has a punitive culture - it personally seems like the staff/some faculty really don't trust students like I got the vibe that they look at us and say oh they're lying/doing something horrible and it's like what? that can weigh heavy on someone mentally.

hmm okay, that's really helpful to know! maybe not the best fit then - tysm again!

Penn State, Northwestern, Yale (kind of), Georgetown, Ohio State, Brown, Cleveland Clinic, UPMC, UTHSC (tennessee), Zucker/Northwell, Emory, Mizzou, WVU, Dartmouth

wait I didn't know about Northwestern, are we sure?

Exact wording: "We are very excited to welcome you to the Northwestern University combined Medicine-Dermatology interviews, which also serves as interviews for either the categorical Medicine and/or advanced Dermatology tracks, if you have applied to either of those Northwestern programs. "

northwestern med derm counts for prelim.

Penn state does??

yes Penn state does, presented to us on interview day

what about northwestern regular Derm/peds derm> NW med derm counts for advanced derm NW position + med derm position. NOT prelim. You can ask to be considered for categorical IM, but that was not guaranteed by just applying.

It's Emorylicious

traffic driving between different sites

nah there was hints at toxicness plz don't diminish and try to deflect>ok rude, I didn't know the other stuff I'm just trying to share

let's all hug it out ❤️> Emory went from near bottom of my rank list to top 3 to back to the bottom within the past week. i think it's staying there.

I've heard it's a more intense TY from prior interns

i've heard the same from residents (also ty to the person for the info on the right)

4 weeks of ambulatory, 20-24 weeks of IM, 12 weeks of electives, 1 month of ED, 2-3 weeks of jeopardy call, no MICU, no stipend for step 3 but $1500 travel conference funds, and 5 night shifts the entire year. BUTTT brutal IM workload. I think I heard PD say sometimes TYs are held at a higher expectation than prelims lolol. The info sesh made me move it down my list.

No welcome session, just resident social

thanks!!!

so if we haven't received link are we rejected

they just sent an ERAS message!

ah i see it now thank you! i also got a rejection from the prelim IM program?? very confusing

I heard that the program is friends with UCONN (IYKYK)

bro whats the tea with that!! spill please!

bruh what the heck i feel like i hear scandalous things coming from emory every week what is going on over there

WHAAT??? Emory has UConn tea and yall arent sharing?!

how is emory friends with uconn? why does uconn pop up on this spreadsheet every day!!

uconn is the program of the year it seems

not yet, I think they said it was later in Jan?

I think one of our emails had a scheduling link. I'm scheduled for one in a couple weeks

No, Cooper has 1 seat

emory only taking 6 this year and no PGY2 spot

cincinnati only taking 3 this year

i think we can assume uconn takes 1 md-phd a year

usual, it's known that they only interview ~1/2 of their aways, you'll just have to weigh how strongly you want to match there/how strong of an applicant you think you are and how likely you are to impress with those odds

try to be honest with yourself about how well you do in a social setting! if you are a hard worker and pleasant to be around it will go a long way

agree with this - I'm very glad I rotated at Brown this year

I had a great experience rotating at Brown and learned a lot, but did not receive an interview. Even if you have the stats + did well on the rotation you are not guaranteed an interview. If I could go back in time, I'd probably choose a place with better odds of getting an interview like Emory.

> how do you impress on aways?

POOP

personally I think it ends up being 80% personality and 20% knowledge/technical skills, if you click with people and are pleasant to be around that goes a long way

depends some places like UF and Emory that interview all their rotators have a good chance of matching there because they are very selective on who they pick and they have a good track record of matching rotators, also they don't have too many rotators - Conversely, programs like UConn who have a ton of rotators and interview all of them, you don't really know if you have a good shot, also based on tea on this spreadsheet there's nepotism rumors, research fellows, etc. so your chances at a program like that may be lower and can give applicants false hope

anyone know about upmc?

UF interviews most of their rotators but also interviews a significant amount of non-rotators, plus away/gold seem to weigh less post-interview there. Certainly better than a lot of other programs but there are programs that only interview internals and more heavily weigh away/gold/etc post-interview as well. ^ It's the best when a program is very selective with away rotators and then interviews them all because it means you already have a high shot at being ranked. Places that take a ton of rotators and intreview all as a courtesy = waste of time for everyone and waste of hope.

what counts as a high number of away rotators? 20+? 30+?

some programs take 6 aways per month so do with that what you will

great bc they give you an interview! Not great if it doesn't correlate with true shot at a decent place on the rank list. But there's no true way to know and we will never know how the pie is made as applicants so whatever

. on OP's question, what programs interview all rotators?

where do we find number of away rotators a prgram takes per year?

Reapplicant here, from what ive seen from my away rotations and who they matched: my experience, they definitely take at least 1 away rotator depending on number of spots the program has. If they have internals + away rotators with better stats or from better schools with decent personalities, might not go your way. if you are one of those rotators with great stats and they don't have too many internals then you're in a great place to possibly match there

also depends on how the internals rank them - can't assume that all of the internals actually want to go there

Harbor-

not true. would say it's more accurate to say that all applicants interviewed will have done an away rotation. similar to Kaiser LA

theres a sidebar on some of the VSLO apps that show how many they accept per month, and then from there you can roughly calculate
