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.

Does anyone have friends in the Harvard residency program? Someone on the WWYD thread posted the following comment and I was hoping to get more insight on whether residents are happy there: "Harvard puts on a great show on interview day from what I've heard, but the reality of the program isn't what is portrayed. There are some very strong personalities in both the residents and faculty. From a friend in the program, they haven't been enjoying their time there as much as they'd hoped. I think Penn residents seem to be much happier (also have a friend there) and the faculty are much nicer, more supportive, and very involved with residents from what I hear. I'm interviewing at both, so we'll see! "

For what’s its worth, I don’t think UCSF or penn have done any RTM calls or emails. This is trolling my friends
