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
a penn person keeps deleting stuff...please stop
Which programs require different or supplemental personal statments?
Is this list complete?
When are we supposed to complete the supplemental stuff by?
I would do it ASAP.
I know Boston does bigly, any others? Did Mayo email you regarding the supplement?
ohio state
MAYO DOES
BU
U Conn?? Just got an email from them
Indiana, UMass -- where can the supplement for UMass be found? I don't see it on the website
Thank you for the heads up!!! || UPenn has a supplementary questionnaire on their website || Some programs like UConn and UCLA (STARS) send out supps later in the season |
So did Penn State not send invites out? I see it was removed. This is starting to get confusing.
It was removed by someone insecure. They did send out a wave of invites.
I don't think it's insecurity so much as this is what happens when people cry wolf!
How many have recieved an Iowa invite today?
Me! |
Finally some derm interview activity after what feels like forever silence! (Timestamp: October 26, 2017): U Iowa, UTSW, Penn, Cooper School interviews reported today!
Penn derm internal interviews just released
Feeling worse by the moment
Dont think its time to feel bad yet unless you are Penn internal! Only 12% of interviews are out at this point
Was hoping for Iowa
Oh, maybe send them a love letter? Are you associated with Iowa somehow, or just think its a great program overal?
Just thought it was a good program. I'm from a med school in Illinois so I thought I could get some Midwest love.
I see, well, they have several interview dates coming up, so I bet they are still going to send out some more interview invites. We shall see!
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
there was a pretty good list on last year's spreadsheet. I'll see if I can find it. --> pasted from last year -->| Thank!
