If I want to match anywhere, where should I rotate? aka which programs interview mainly rotators?
want to reiterate that it's getting harder to get these away rotations so you might not have a choice but check the schools that didnt II aways from this year and last year
Would add penn state and jefferson to this list but can't edit the cell for some reason
i believe wayne state also does
musc
thank you!

which prelim programs interview everyone who gets a derm interview?
emory, upmc
I think emory and UPMC are a bit separate in that the derm interview is the TY/prelim interview, IIRC some programs have you do a separate prelim interview but it's a guaranteed interview if you get a derm one?
Anyone else see that the BU prelim is reserved for neuro/ophtho applicants? It's on their website. I only found that out just now
yeah it's annoying how much info you have to glean going to individual sites
Finding out I wasted signals on BU and NYU 👎
yep and vanderbilt and emory too
wasted mine on Christianacare lol rip
why do they do this to us its already so expensive bro> wait why was emory a waste?
Are NYU and BU open to home derm students or just not any derm at all?
yep and vanderbilt and emory too

Vanderbilt IM prelim just emailed that they aren't taking any prelim residents next year
mind you i gave them a gold
that blows lmao
I feel like anyone who signaled them (gold or silver, especially gold) should get that back and be able to use it elsewhere. I know this will never happen, but this is really unfair.
emory first now this. signals i could have used elsewhere
emory said it on website
no ones going through every program's website
they said it before ERAS was due or no?
emory did. Vandy just said it today.
lowkey down to report them to the ACGME
IU Southwest IM also did this

"did anyone else see that the emory prelim program is no longer being offered? so now that application and signal just go to waste?? what the heck "
damn thats crazy
ugh same boat, just noticed that the Emory website also said derm applicants shouldn't apply to the prelim program which is annoying
EL oh EL I GOLD signaled the prelim. What is life rn.
>deadass anyone know if u withdraw the app u can get ur signal back?
AAMC specifically says no (https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-residencies-eras/publication-chapters/program-signals-overview-eras-applicants#tips)
oh that's not...

thoughts on golding emory without having done an away? anyone know if they had residency explorer stats? website won't load> yeah bro do it
risky, okay if this is your only more reach Gold
if they are one of your top 3 going into the cycle, give them a gold.
Tea on which programs almost always interview their away rotators? (either on the away or invite them later on), I know so far Emory, UF...
Miami, Tulane> Tennessee
so for these programs, do you not need to signal them (gold or silver) if you do an away rotation there?
you'll have to ask them, ik programs also change from year to year, signals are still fairly new
you def still should silver signal your aways at the least unless specifically told otherwise, but in my experience they all still wanted a signal some aways wanted silver and told us to save gold for others
heard wake forest interviews them all!> not true for WF >LSU
FSU, MUSC, Arkansas, UF

What programs are considered workhorse and what programs are considered chiller?
Emory NYU, Washu, lots of the Texas programs workhorse
LSU, Tennessee, Wake forest, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas are examples of chill ones
lies on the Texas programs being workhorse. There are definitely chill programs here. More reasons to take people's opinions cautiously.
same with nyu…yall are just parroting what you've heard people say in the past instead of talking about things you have actual knowledge about…
Is BU a chill program? Nope

Does anyone know if we can see prevous data on Residency Explorer? For example, at one point Emory had info on % gold signal
II but now that data is no longer there for the 2025 cycle.
last year from my memory Emory's stat was around 20/25% for a gold signal becoming an II
for Emory specifically would also account for the fact that they tell their away rotators to gold signal and auto interview them
anyone know which hospitals we rotate at for the Emory rotation?
is there a list of which programs guarantee interviews to their away rotators?
you can probably look at the old sheets linked on the reddit and it can give a rough idea
Feel like none of these aren't guaranteed anymore :(
no theres several that still auto interview. just look at the spreadsheets the information is there
Emory, Miami, Tulane auto IV. Maybe some other smaller programs do as well >since when is Miami auto IV? with their 400 internals lol >Miami only accepts 4-8 rotators per year and interview all of them during the rotation.

Kind of a long shot... I am reaching out to see if anyone is planning to come to Emory/Atlanta for an away rotation and needs one month of accommodation (flexible with any length). I have a one-bedroom condo available, conveniently located near all major hospitals.

Emory is officially full :(
mid program anyway lol
makes me fearful for my app tbh but i know like everyone applied so lol
i dont think it means anything if you were rejected, there were hundreds of apps
i know some people who got away rejection but interview so its all good!
I did three aways, and the program coordinator should tell you where to park a few days before you start! If they dont include parking info in your welcome email, you can ask them then. If you have severe parking anxiety like me, you can practice the day before or plan to get there ~45 minutes early on your first day
Do most aways provide a spot for parking? My school didn't provide parking for medical students so I'm curious if it's standard to be "nicer" to away students since they don't know the area well and they're only there for a month.
parking was free at all 3 of my aways.

Is Emory full? Haven't recieved a decision yet
apparently someone got an email 4/30 saying all invites have been sent out
so frustating that they haven't emailed several of us decisions, would be nice to get a rejection instead of being ghosted
Very unprofessional
was told by the admin directly that they're now full
was told by coordinator that if we haven't recieved a decision, it is still pending
Anyone hear anything else from Emory? Seems like only 2 people got accepted, for those who haven't heard back do you think we are rejected or still have a chance? Based on the spreadsheet, seems like a lot of away decisions are delayed this year
you could email the coordinator and ask, most likely all spots are filled but idk
reached out and they said they are still going through applications>thank u 4 this hope
hope we hear good news soon <3
