Has UPenn sent invites for external?
So has UPenn gone out yet for anything beside the research year?
No idea of when penn comes out?
PENN INTERVIEW EXTERNAL NO TIES
Anybody else hear back from Penn?? I'm getting anxious now...
Was UPenn for 3 year, 3 (CTCL), or both?
looks like PENN sent invites 12/7 and 12/14 last year so maybe a second wave?
Out of curiosity to gauge amount of overlap at top programs, how many ppl are interviewing at UCSF, Stanford, NYU, Penn and Harvard?
Anyone get Penn derm but not Med-derm, or vice versa?
Upenn rejection email
any idea how many people programs like penn and harvard interview
Did penn only have one interview date for non-research?
How far do top programs typically have to go down the rank list? I always feel that people that got invited to harvard will get invited to penn, NYU, Stanford, UCSF, Sinai, NW, Mayo. Can they go all the way to number 30-40 on their rank list because all of the applicants end up being spread out? Unless every applicant that those programs rank to match ranks their respective programs (unlikely) number one, they should go down pretty far.
anyone w/ Penn dinner tonight/interview tomorrow, i'd really really love to hear about it
