Hosp of the Univ of PA (Dermatology/3 yr)

Noooo UPenn was one of my top choices :(

i just wanna match at penn derm ;(

Change my mind: NYU is clearly the #1 program. UCSF/Penn are distant 2nd & 3rd < NYU is the dream!!! x2

anyone here know how spots are allocated per program? i dont understand how gwu can have only 2 spots in a place like DC and then places like Penn state have like 4

Did anyone feel like the meet & greets were useful? I didn't learn much from any of them, I'm sure they didn't notice me amongst 100 other people and I went to the UPenn one which was a horrible disaster (kinda feel bad for them having to deal with that garbage)

Since Penn State sent out acceptances and rejections but I haven't received either, what does this mean?

anyone not get penn state R?

why did penn get less apps than unc < some probs assumed it was a lost cause

Anyone finding information about maternity/paternity leave? It looks like Penn unfortunately only offers FMLA as an institution across the board (which speaks more to Penn Medicine as an institution rather than Penn Derm, I hope). I've heard even Temple nearby give full paid paternty leave."

why does this spreadsheet say penn is releasing 11/8 but APD calendar says early Dec?

if you had to choose an all around best derm program (forget about prestige etc) which would it be? < NYU < Penn < Harvard. I'll be honest. < Hahvahd < training wise it's def not Harvard lol <literally all of us would tank going to harvard even if it were truly the most malignant program lets be real guys. stop hating < yale < training wise all top programs are pretty similar, harvard just also has a lot of resources and opportunities - important for people with a specific niche or interested in research - by virtue of their having a ton of faculty members and funding opps

I'm trying to distract myself with crazy scenarios for my interviews lol so please just entertain this. Do people actually know anyone who has turned down Harvard for another T5 like Penn, NYU, UCSF, Stanford? Not anecdotal but actually know this to be true? <know somebody who interviewed at almost all of these and chose another program over Harvard, they felt like it was a better fit< unsure if this is confirmed or not but I think that chick who matched UCSF and is active on twitter picked it over these schools listed.< why are you assuming this? lol < I can confirm this is true from a trustworthy source < so i'm an applicant this year but from a top school and talking to those who matched last year, apparently harvard has a "reputation" for working residents super hard and not really having the best camraderie when you compare it to like ucsf < it is also just overrated. every time that comes up, someone here acts like because it is harvard we can't call it out. it is just not that great compared to others you listed< the hero we don't deserve!

Did anyone else not get penn supplement?

is the penn supplement working for anyone today? it keeps giving me an error message :/

Are there really only 4 program specific supplemental applications this year (BU, UTSW, Penn, Lehigh Valley)? I already filled out Penn's app (took less than 5 min) but is it even worth writing supplementals for only 3 other extra programs? Is it because of the new ERAS supplemental that the number of program specific supplemental apps is low? < i think so. I only did the UTSW one because I had answers. I applied to BU because why not, not sure how to say that in 5 paragraphs
