Penn's def got the most #1 overall though
Did anyone rank NYU over UCSF, HMS, Penn or stanford??
^ over stanford maybe, but why would anyone rank it over UCSF...and certainl not over Penn unless your family is in NYC and you can't be 90 minutes away and therefore want a program that is, no question, less clinically/academically strong
Does anyone personally know someone who ranked at Penn? Are they normal people? lol or ate they more awkward than a boy in a middle school dance?
How come everyone going hogwild over Penn/HMS/Stanford/UCSF/NYU but always leaves
Did people listen to the topical podcast with that guy from Penn? I thought it was crazy to hear Mostaghimi basically admits HMS is still a step behind Penn. that alone makes me want to meet one of these Penn kids
can anyone w/ some sort of personal experience/inside knowledge speak to the happiness of UPenn residents?
UPenn has 10 people who ranked it #1?? Wow! what is it about this program that everyone wants in? I am suprised
Penn went unmatched
all of the penn match list info magically disappeared...why
Wait what?! can someone pls confirm the Cincy person who matched at Penn? I'd heard it was someone else so now im super confused...
someone from Cincy did match at Penn (https://comdo-wcnlb.uc.edu/emos/studentservices/MatchSummary.aspx)
^> the penn match list is available online. their derm applicants matched to HMS x2, Penn, NYU, Arkansas, and Einstein
