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
what are peoples thoughts on penn vs harvard?
Does anyone know if Penn splits group into AM and PM interviews?
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! "
Did anyone else get an email from Penn besides the OP above?
For what’s its worth, I don’t think UCSF or penn have done any RTM calls or emails. This is trolling my friends
R2M from UPenn ... wtf just happened
Can anyone confirm R2M from Penn?
Has anyone who received RTM from penn been external (not a Penn student)?
What makes Penn the best program? What is it doing right that other programs must still look to improve?
Did any externals get RTM from Penn?
Now that all is said and done: did any external non 2s get RTM from Penn and did anyone other than the original poster get emailed by Hopkins?
