Sentiment score: 5.5 / 10
Applicants discuss Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), a DO program in Pennsylvania with 2 spots, noting interview invite logistics including potential spam folder issues and timing around late November. There is mixed sentiment about the program being DO-only, though some acknowledge it may increasingly accept MD candidates under new MD leadership.

This should go without saying but if you notice that a program has mainly, if not all, DO Derm residents, don't waste your money as an allopathic MD student in ERAS fees for those programs. The merger doesn't mean anything in terms of equal consideration of your application.
as a recently matched DO resident, I can say this is largely true. Most DO programs won't take MD candidates. Maybe this will change in the future, but not true now. May also not be true if you have a strong tie to the program. Also, many DO programs are now run by MD PDs and May start taking more MDs, such as Honor Health, LVHN, St. Joe's, etc. For a list of these "DO" programs, see this spreadsheet: Formerly AOA Dermatology Residencies: Audition Rotation Guide

Does this 50/50 lecture & clinic based derm elective count as rotating through your home derm program, or no?

technically you do rotate but half the rotation is didactics and assignments, after July we're able to sign up for our formal home rotations though < I would just prepare well in advance for your away rotation for July and then do your home program rotation the next month.

Are there really only 4 program specific supplemental applications this year (BU, UTSW, Penn, Lehigh Valley)? I already filled out Penn's app (took less than 5 min) but is it even worth writing supplementals for only 3 other extra programs? Is it because of the new ERAS supplemental that the number of program specific supplemental apps is low? < i think so. I only did the UTSW one because I had answers. I applied to BU because why not, not sure how to say that in 5 paragraphs

The supplement page says there's a new supplement for Lehigh Valley, but I can't find any information on this on the website. Anyone got any info on this? < where is Lehigh Valley, never heard of it. < DO program in lehigh valley PA

Absolutely. While reviewing applications, the residents and faculty note applicants they WANT to interview and then there are the so so applicants they still give the interview just in case/ curtosey/ etc. During the interview, I find it obvious the way the residents and such interact with the stellars that looked great on paper during the interview. As long as they aren't straight weirddo, I assume they will be ranking them highly. There is always that rare case of someone that is a weirdo and will drop down that list if that are just plain weird or doesnt seem like a fit

<Like the way residents interact with them during the downtime? That seems unlikely.

Very unlikely. Most residents don't know your application. If they are an interviewing resident, they probably have a limited application and don't know your scores.< It variues by program (some were blinded, others had scores/stats in front of them). However, at most programs there is no official rank list pre-interview that interviewers know about since they don't all meet together to make this list. They may each have their individual rank list generally based on their own interests and how it overlaps with the applicants they read about to prepare for the interviews but honestly there were plenty of interviewers who knew very little about me at both top and mid tier programs. Also, a lot of programs use a scoring system during interviews which is what makes their initial rank list which serves as a starting point during the rank meetings
