Out of curiosity, did anyone get a T5 (Harvard, NYU, UPenn, UCSF, Stanford) get ii without signalling them?

What's the consensus on Upenn? Seeing posts below that they may or may not be still offering until next week?

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

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 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."

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
