4.5 / 10

What anonymous posters said

Several posts describe confusion and speculation about the program going unmatched and requiring SOAP in a recent cycle, with many attributing it to an administrative or rank-list error rather than lack of interest. Multiple posters also mention inconsistency in who received application supplements, while some described interview days as well organized with positive overall impressions.

Wow, more different Derm programs interviewing in November this year vs. in past years: UTSW, Northwestern, Henry Ford, Indiana.| how do you know when they are interviewing ?

#7702017-2018 DermMar 23

Many programs list their interview dates on their website, or internal applicants may have this information through their department

Has anyone heard from Presence St. Francis TY or Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital TY?

#6642017-2018 DermMar 23

Does anyone else find it kind of weird that some of these programs seemingly have not sent out invites this late? I don't know what to make of this.

I find it weird that UPMC seems not to have sent out invites either. x2

So, as far as I can tell, no one has received invites to any of the below TY programs. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Because if I'm right, this seems really strange... St Joseph's Hospital Health Center Program (Syracuse) UPMC Medical Education Program (Pittsburgh) Presence Saint Francis Hospital Program (Evanston) St Vincent Hospital and Health Care Center Program (Indianapolis) Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital Program (Indianapolis) Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Program (Brockton)

Can people who've been to Pitt, UT Southwestern, Indiana, etc. post their interview impressions please? Thanks fam!

Do you want all the questions they asked during the interviews?

That was an unnecessarily hostile response, [redacted]. Check out the interview impressions tab to see what other posters have been doing to contribute to the spreadsheet. No one is asking you for "all the questions they asked during the interviews." x3

Does it matter when we submit these sups or as long as they are in by the due date?

Mar 22
0

I would think it would be by the due date (which is earlier than the due date on the website for applications in general), just because it's sort of an internal deadline for supplemental information w/your application on a temporary "hold". They're clearly trying to get people who would actually be interested in coming there vs. people who just apply because they clicked a button on ERAS. It's a good way to get an actual good pool of people all of whom would be happy there and they don't have to decide those interviews until for Dec/Jan. so they have a while to go thru it and read it thoroughly.

thoughts on the chicago programs? other than NW obv

#132015-2016 DermMar 23

not great

NYC has a lot of great programs (NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Sinai), but Chicago really only has NW. There are much better programs in the Midwest compared to the other Chicago programs

Yeah, there are so much better Derm programs in the Midwest than in Chicago, i.e. Wash U, Indiana, etc.

I have lived in both, and personally would take Minneapolis/St. Paul over Chicago any day. what does Chicago have that MSP doesn't, besides a giant metal bean?

MN lakes > lake michigan, the food is slightly better in Chicago (I'll give you that) but MN still has great restaurants. plus it is so much cleaner, less corrupt, has less traffic/crime, and better outdoor activities and bike trails

I'll echo that besides Chicago, Minneapolis/St Paul is great, but so too is Madison. For university towns, Ann Arbor and Iowa City are nice (at least for three years). Not going to lie, Celeveland and St Louis are terrible

Agreed. Case and Cleveland Clinic were both excellent programs. Completely shitty as cities and terrible weather.
