Does anyone know if there is a list of prelims / TYs that automatically consider you for their institution's prelim/TY or their derm interview counts as the prelim/TY interview? Sitting at one TY and one prelim but a few derms and want to know if I should go into ERAS and add them or if I should worry more :P

el oh el, are people actually looking through each program's website?? lol I just used residency explorer and freida to get all the intel I needed and called it a day. Can't give myself too much of a headache.

#8282025–2026 DermFeb 21

just for grade requirements bc mine arent the best and saved a signal from GW *shrugs* , otherwise we ball

Feb 21

What programs have explicit requirements on their website (not residency explorer or Freida) about GPA requirements? For example, I saw that GW requires being in the top 1/3 of your class, what about programs have this kind of language on their website?

#5382025–2026 DermFeb 21

Not on their website but I've heard cook county has a step cut off that's decently high (it's 260).
