Thoughts on UCSD? Program sounds nice but it seems they only want prestige? I heard back about an away there but wondering if its even worth it if I am coming from a mid tier or lower. Seems they love their Harvard people... --> a friend who matched there affirmed that most of her interview cohort was from top programs, do with that what you will
seems like it could be true but also could be a self-fulfilling prophecy. but also coming from a low tier i didn't get an interview while i got interviews from several more prestigious names. i also had no geo connection tho

Has anyone heard back positively from aways at UCSD or Harvard for July or September?
I am doing a UCSD Peds Derm Away in July. They told me adult derm is basically full from home students every month. For UCSD?

How did folks who applied/rejected for the Harvard rotation for the months of September/October already find out? I thought they reviewed apps after each deadline (e.g., for September after June 4th?)

What is the general consensus on the derm research fellow positoins at Massachusetts General Hospital?
general consensus regarding what?> regarding the research fellow position. Is it worth it? does it have good match outcomes, is PI toxic etc> There are several PI's at MGH. theres not just one research fellow position.

you want specific answers to nonspecific questions> Many people have asked similar questions youre being intelligent WEIRD. I was asking for overall opinions and what people know about their research fellow positions not necessarily looking for answers to specific questions

Other dude has a point, hard question to answer. >Hard to generalize, but I think its safe to assume that boston is expensive, and RYs are never paid that well. Also because there's so many PIs, its well known the MGH RYs don't help that much in matching Harvard, but the research itself could be very impactful

As a HMS MS4 who has a 260+ and RY with 20+ indexable pubs and no home interview, I feel like being at HMS is a huge con. No aways means I don't have networking with other programs, then while the ii list doesnt interview home students as a courtesy. I have 0 II rn and I want to kms wtf
Are HMS not allowed to do aways?

I'm so sorry and I'm surprirsed the HMS name didn't garner you some :/ you're clearly qualified

OP here, PD and faculty tell us not to do aways on purpose as they can "only hurt you"...

I personally was told to do as many aways as the limit because I was a "good clinical rotator". They told the other person applying with me not to.

can confirm top programs tell their students not to do aways because 'it can only hurt them,' but i think they are realizing the game changed this year and will likely sing another song next year

for what it's worth i was told not to do aways by a mentor who primarily worked on research w/ me and then told to do aways by res/attendings i rotated with because it would be a good way for me to stand out to programs. so i would get multiple opinions from people before deciding not to do aways
Feb 21
0
so like what changed this year?? as an aside I think the faculty are getting tired of applicants just putting pediatric derm and wanting to work with underserved communities and not actually wanting to do that in the future. so if you're planning on putting those two to stand out, don't unless you actually strongly are passionate

I'd argue it's not toxic, faculty just assume students at "elite" schools don't need as much guidance and we'll figure it out ourselves which is not necessarily true lol

Thoughts on the Harvard-affiliated medicine prelim programs (BWH, MGH, BIDMC)? Those were my 1 - 3 and just wondering if I shot myself in the foot with a tough intern year... >they are tough. too late to worry now though! Boston is a lovely city :)
BIDMC is probably the hardest one, you only get 2 - 4 weeks of elective, otherwise you are a medicine categorical. I think BWH and MGH are better built preliminary programs overall.

Is it just me or do Hopkins students not match all that well compared to other peer schools?
bro they went 10/13 this year at crazy institutions. yeah their derm deparment is weaker but they matched incredibly well. also hopkins r

Two people in T5s, two more in T10s...pretty solid if u ask me

Also, people have higher priorities than matching at the “top” programs. Who wants to go to Harvard work-horse and live in miserable Boston

Bruh, in what world is UCSF, Northwestern, UCSD, NYU, Southwestern not impressive. I also think it’s impressive that everyone was able to match at other institutions besides Hopkins. It’s prob more impressive than say, CWRU where a bunch of internals stayed
