Does anyone know if there is a list of prelims / TYs that automatically consider you for their institution's prelim/TY or their derm interview counts as the prelim/TY interview? Sitting at one TY and one prelim but a few derms and want to know if I should go into ERAS and add them or if I should worry more :P

If you got a Northwestern Med-Derm IV does that also count for gen derm or do you need to get invited for both to be considered for both?
My understanding is that Northwestern, as most programs with different tracks, is only allowing people to apply/interview to 1 track (Gen Derm vs Med Derm vs Ped Derm)
Feb 21
0
Do they say this somewhere? For example Penn states you can apply to multiple tracks
Feb 21
0
I applied to multiple tracks within the same program and for most programs a PC reached out to me asking to only select 1
Feb 21
0
wait i'm confused by this, I thought we could apply to any tracks we wanted? where are you getting this info that we're only allowed to apply to one?
Feb 21
0
I think this is program dependent
Feb 21
0
ok but my question was to the person saying NW only allows applying to one track, I'm not seeing that anywhere on their website/wasn't aware of that
Feb 21
0
I've heard that they're mostly doing this to people who applied gen derm and peds derm; they're trying to weed out people who are not geniunly interested in Ped Derm and only applying because Peds Derm is less popular and may be seen as an easier way to get in for people who do not have an actual intention to pursue peds derm
Feb 21

ahh ok I see, that makes sense. thank you!!

yes i know people from prior cycles who interviewed gen derm and med derm at programs (altho not NW so unsure)

Are all the comments about ucsd not being diverse true? It is my dream program and have a slight in but I keep seeing they only value research and them not being diverse. I am interested in outreach and SOC and would love to do it in San Diego (so cal is home)
see if you get an interview first and then you can debate this when making your rank list.

they have no SOC clinic or faculty which says a lot.
