So take-home from APD: programs participating in coordinated release basically shot their shot--don't expect much more in the way of IIs, but stay positive because Northwestern, Penn, UCSD and UTSW, and maybe like 7 more programs, still haven't released their IIs and it could totally be u boo

Not sure if this can be answered but do Penn interviews usually go to people who got other top 10 interviews? They likely won't consider me but I am just dreaming at this point lol<prolly safe to bet that if u don't have 1-2 top programs on ur roster already, Penn will not b ur 1st

What is the best derm program for overall training (academics, diverse patient population, surgery, breadth of pathology)<NYU, UCSF, and Penn. Harvard and stanford are in the top 5 too but dont give you nearly as much diverse patient population or breadth of pathology

at the risk of creating a new UMN-like sleuth expedition...anyone else not get an invite or rejection to Penn State? Are we de facto waitlist? Should I just sign into my favorite interview day and roll with it?

Penn State interviewees: Would anyone assigned to December 2 or 1:00-3:00 on December 4 be able to switch to 8:00-10:00 on December 4? I have a conflict in the morning and would be extremely grateful if someone could switch with me. I've been in contact with the program coordinator, and switching might earn you serious brownie points with the program for being a team player! (Someone deleted :-/ please protect responses)
