Can anyone who IV'd at Penn State provide overall impression of the interview? Going through family crisis and finding it hard to focus on interview prep. Just want to know what to expect < sorry for the family crisis - that's so difficult at any time, but can't imagine going through it right now.

Does Penn interview for specific tracks on given dates? If not, would definitely like to switch my date.
Anyone got confirmation from Penn for the time slot on interview day?
How many internals did Harvard/Penn/UCSF invite to interview? < lol < penn interviews all internals, so ~10. I think UCSF also interviews all internals
Have penn waitlists gone out?
is penn gonna expand their program now that they have a new hospital to cover?
Which institutions did not give all their away rotators an IV? (Other than harvard LOL) < Brown < Penn < wake
Do all Penn and NYU rotators get interviews? < nope
Change my mind: If you have 1 or 2 of the T5, I think it's in your best interest to do IV swaps with folks who have 2+. E.g. 1/6 has Penn/Harvard. 1/13 has NYU/Penn. If they give up the other T5 IV to attend your only T5 IV, they'll probably rank it #1. If they drop your T5 IV, the spot will go to another top applicant. You should want anyone likely to get ranked above you to match at a different T5, so you'll get to match at your only 1. >>yo go enjoy your Friday evening > also this requires way too many conditionals that it's rarely going to work out in the exact way you're describing< gunner smh, why are people here so obsessed with rankings
What are the chill T10s? And why lol < someone answer pls < Harvard, Penn, NYU -- you just drink irish coffee in the resident room while Margaritaville plays on repeat for 3 years
How many people do each of the top schools interview? Harvard - 44 overall UCSF - 26 clinical, 8-10 research Stanford - 44 overall Yale - 48 overall Penn - ?? overall NYU - 46 overall
did anyone that's not 2 get a Penn interview on 1/20?
Did anyone get a Penn II without signaling?
Not to keep up false hopes but are any programs still giving out actual II's (not just trickles from drops)? Like rumor has it Yale or UPenn maybe? And obviously Mt Sinai hasn't released
If you have a Penn Med-Derm 1/6 interview and would switch with mine on 1/13, please contact crash_xcx on the Discord (or any other form of communication), thank you!!!
