Emory Univ SOM-GA

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

didn't interview there, but how come?

im not OP and interviewed at emory and thought it was a long day but the qeustions seemed borderline harder than i expected

what did they ask

POOP

I'm sure you did better than you thought? the interviewers today seemed really welcoming/kind!

i was just curious bc i wonder how they are gonn rank us if everyone had a "good interview" lol

There are different tiers of "good." Everyone got an "A" some got 91, some got 99

and im sure many of us are unaware if we are part of the 91 vs 99 group

agreed everyone im sure does well! but itll come down to things we wont have control over

what about having connections but not feeling so hot about interview performance?

POOP

like what lol?

personal connections to programs, derm is all about connections!!

do we have a chance without a connection if we interviewed and it went well lol?

I dont think any of us would know, but I hope we do lol. would assume the chance is lower with fewer connections.

it'll depend on how strong your connections are/how hard you think those faculty members will be batting for you during rank meetings (ex., did you just do one research project with them or have you been working with them over 2-3 years, did they recently graduate and become faculty or are they senior faculty w more sway)

how many home and aways were there?

no clue

the 24 are the not home/aways, so i'd say another 20-25ish who are

POOP

I don't know yall just worry about yourselves and try your best tomorrow :)

I did an away and can confirm we were not told about joining a social, so I doubt aways and home students were there

POOP

Home interviews are seperate> are they as long as tomorrow's interview day aka 11 rooms lol

POOP

POOP

POOP

it's around 40

POOP

Idk if that's true, if you go on their site, they had interns who did not match at Emory but were TY interns

why do people ask if it's thalamus? how is that helpful?> My guess is because thalamus is more likely to be a mass send, whereas an email perhaps gives the possibility of receiving later in the day

thalamus emails are auto-sent and usually one and done. PC emails are typically rolling

like emory, people got it over the span of 45 mins to an hour

so UCI all out? :(

seems a bit early for irvine?

don't think UCI actually released yet, no one is filling out the Interview Offers tab

I see 2 there now :(

i'm skeptical

is it possible that they are internals?

i hope

got an interview with no signal at all

cap

the number 20 is interviewees outside of home/away rotators

what are chances for those 20 to match there?

probably only 1 of them will if even

UF is like emory if you dont do an away the chances are vvvv low...> they offered me an away for a month I didnt apply to (but I couldnt go) so I had false hope

why would you expect an interview when you declined their away... IJBOL

that one hurts

apparently they only released like 20 interviews? didn't realize their yield was so low

woah that's less than 3 interviews per spot

they also interview all their aways during the aways

still that's not a lot of interviews for 6 spots

thats rough

I interviewed on the rotation
