Mass General Brigham-MA

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?

fwiw, the top applicants this season have been seeing each other across most of these virtual interviews. newsflash, there's about 40-50 of them, accounting for regional bias, and they are the ones that can really compare an interview from stanford to one from harvard to ucsf to utsw, etc. if you don't don't have those kinds of options, follow doximity rankings or whatever other metric brings you joy. No one is trying to screw with your rank list here, only you can control that. The comments on this spreadsheet are just what would be happening in person in real-time if that were an option, probably with more honesty than otherwise possible.

now that you have interviewed... Harvard or UCSF?<i tried asking this question nicely earlier in the day, ppl did not like it. same boat.< did they delete it?<no, just called me a dbag< damn, sorry. I'm kinda leaning toward Harvard. 3 months elective is pretty sweet and we won't even know fit until we are actually there. I have friends who matched into programs and are now miserable even though they thought it would be a good fit on interview day.<yea, that's why i was asking too. both programs are obviously awesome, but have different feels and slightly different perks. i was kind of thinking ucsf for the tech hub opportunities< what if I decide to do a mohs or procedural fellowship. Is one of these more accepting than the other?

does everyone have a way better impression of harvard after the round table?
