Mass General Brigham-MA

i'm super confused why so many people here seem to hate on yale compared to the other top 5s...it was my dream program and i ended up matching at another "top 10" but i'm still pretty bummed. even though new haven isn't exactly boston or new york, the residents at yale are consistently the top scorers on boards and more PDs have come from yale than anywhere else. not that harvard, NYU, Stanford, UCSF and Penn aren't great too, but i think we're doing a disservice by not consistently including yale with those programs. still wish i could have been there!!!!

Everyone please fill out the contact information. Talking to a Harvard resident who matched last year was so helpful for me and he was the only one to post his info.

Feeling like I messed up my rank list bad. I had Harvard, UPENN, UCSF as 1,2,3 out of 25 but then I made a last minute switch. I wanted to be close to home so went with UCSF. Am I going to be able to get a job ?

MGH vs. MSKCC which is more intense?

Does anyone know how many months of elective time MGH prelims get? the website mentions 2 in the written portion, but their chart says 3 months...

Anyone get a response from Harvard? I think they might have missed mine because people said they were responding to thank yous a while back.

Brigham vs. Sloan which is more intense/exhausting?

I just found out Dr. Pimple Popper went to residency at Southern Illinois University or something and now realize that none of this matters b/c where you go for residency doesn't even predict your future success lol > dermies can make anything happen > yeah i think people are obsessed with reputation on this spreadsheet which is so interesting, it really doesn't matter some of the most famous academic derms didn't all come through Harvard/Penn/NYU x3 dont tell that to the same 20 people clogging up this spreadsheet with questions about the same 3 programs lmfao!

lol people are legit arguing harvard vs ucsf vs stanford on this sheet where many people are scared they don't have enough interviews to match. the let them eat cake energy is strong on that one

I know this is in the WWYD but it was mostly around food haha. Can we talk about Harvard vs. Stanford? I feel like Harvard gets compared to UCSF a lot but how about Stanford?< I think Harvard x3 > Harvard in terms of complexity and diversity of cases since you rotate through so many different sites at Harvard.

LOL 9 harvard #1 ranks. Seriously going for name brand because I think it is very clear that other T5s have better training.

Are you guys leaning more towards prelim years that aren't exactly cushy (Brigham, etc) or cushy TYs?

Does anyone know anybody who matched at Harvard, Penn, or Stanford with sub 250 Step 1 scores? Please forgive me for my insecurity, but I think the interviews I got were curtesy interviews. I made the mistake of googling some of the current residents and the ones I googled have public pages that have their Step scores (becuase they are Step tutors haha) and they're 260+ so I'm feeling like chances are not looking good. Anyone have any hopeful (or realistic) words to share? I'd be indebted.

Difference between Harvard and NYU?

Can we debrief about Harvard?
