Hosp of the Univ of PA (Dermatology/3 yr)

Their website says they will send out invites by Dec. 15th, so its possible they have not sent out external interviews yet, though I am not sure.

I do know someone personally who is an external, non-rotator from philly who got an invite at the beginning of the month...perhaps they also invited locals as per last years spreadsheet?

External, non-rotator here with no Philly ties. I received an invite from them as well.

the UPenn invites went out over a month ago (external, didn't rotate, no affiliation with Philly)

Received info from a reliable source saying to expect more interviews to go out in early December (maybe this coming week?) sorry I can't be more specific!

<--- woot!

Congrats!

Thanks!!!| me too, yay!

Congrats! Was this regular derm track? Anyone hear from CTCL, research, or med/derm tracks?

regular track

Yes

Did this date go mostly out to internal applicants, rotators and locals?

Internal here. All of the internals and locals interviewed 12/4. There are rotators who weren't there.

I hope so! A reliable source told me they are not done extending invites. They also have several tracks like med-derm, research track, and CTCL that have not extended invites yet

Just a heads up, I think the only date offered for the regular track is 1/11 at the moment

Research interviews are from 1/4-5; the coordinator said they're sending them out soon (I'm an internal). I dunno if there are also regular-track interviews on that day

Thanks for clarifying! I've updated my comment reflecting this one. Coord also noted that most spots on 1/4 are reserved for research track and med-derm applicants as I couldn't switch in |

Are you talking about U Penn or Penn state?

Penn = UPenn

I really wanted that date :(

research interviews have already gone out

I spoke with a DO student during an interview, and she mentioned that St. Joesph's Mercy Livingston has already sent out invites, and that the PD said that only DO students will be interviewing.

Thanks for letting us know!

Penn Med/Derm also apparently released invites although no one has said they got one (called coordinator... historically they interview 2-3 people only and don't always fill the spot)

Temple recently got a new department chair. Maybe theyre still getting set up? It does seem pretty late though

During a separate prelim intv in Philly, the attending I interviewed with told me Temple dermatology was having accreditation issues so not sure of their status

could you please elaborate on the temple accreditation issues? i see nothing on the acgme site.

Sorry I don't know any details was just told that by an attending (don't know the validity of it but also don't know why he would have just randomly brought it up)

They're done per the coordinator (sent rejections on 12/15)

I'm interviewing there on the 18th

Would you be willing to switch with me? I'm scheduled for the 11th but have a conflict. Willing to cover travel costs. Let me know by responding here. Thanks!

Why does this post start off with 'this is not a swap request' and then immediately become a swap request x2

U. x 10

someone clearly is bitter they didn't get a . interview...you'e probably the same person who keeps deleting the positive comments from the . interview impressions too.

someone can now fix it by logging in. whoever the troll is must now log in to continue trolling and then I will ban immediately.

Why were people deleting positive comments about UPenn and Duke?

As far as I know, the only programs who have done it are: UCSF, Yale, NYU, UPenn, NW. Am I missing any?| I thought NYU didn't?

Someone is intentionally posting negative comments about UPenn and copying negative comments from other interview impressions into UPenn. Very inaccurate info.

<--- That's a complete lie. Look at the last positive comment copied VERBATIM from Harvard's. Also, I posted a negative comment and literally like 30 seconds later some troll had changed it to a positive one.

All my comments have also been deleted from there

Someone has deleted this post 5 times: All my positive comments on there have also been deleted and changed to negative comments.

Negative comments in UPenn were changed to say the exact opposite thing. This has happened multiple times.

done... the penn interview impressions is a mess.

<-- 90% sure Derm Dermie is the person deleting negative comments about UPenn| I haven't deleted a single comment on this spreadsheet ever. Also, I'm signed in, so they can trace it back to me if I did.| The version and comment history is full of crap that no one can sort through it at this point. All I know is that negative comments have been censored for UPenn. I haven't deleted a thing. Remember the animals refresh randomly when the page loads.| Look at the last positive comment in UPenn. Someone copied it verbatim from Harvard.| I don't know what comment you're talking about because I don't see a verbatim copy of a comment.| I have no idea who's been doing that. I've contributed both positive and negative comments of every place I interviewed at. I have never changed or deleted anything.| But I agree, I hate this spreadsheet. I wonder if it was this bad in the past...
