Are Mayo AZ and Mayo FL considered top programs? I am planning away applications and have heard they still have significant Mayo backing/resources... Both are top15 on doximity also! < WAKE UP SHEEPLE! Doximity ranking literally don't mean anything. Why would you base your professional decisions on something so asinine
Need interview impressions for: case western metro health, oklahoma, Mayo Arizona and jacksonville, honors,Columbia, Lehigh, Loyola, LSU, KCU, USF, UT medical branch and San Antonio, Temple University, WVU <excuse me, who are you? < lol my first thought was WTF. who are you demanding stuff from but then I realized that they aren't actually saying they need these, just that we as a sheet still need these as they haven't been filled out lol
Thoughts on mayo AZ?
the program info tab and program details tab has data that is off. The data on the program details tab is two rows down from that on the program info tab. For example, program info says that for UAMS "no prior auths but residents call back" and the program details tab says the same for mayo arizona and has the details blank for UAMS. Anyone know which is correct?
What are all the derm programs that have categorical intern years? So far I just have Ohio State, Mayo AZ, Mayo MN, Indiana, Cleveland Clinic, Utah?
Mayo AZ II x 3
Does Cleveland Clinic pay for a hotel? I could’ve sworn I heard that they did but the email didn’t say so.
No, they attached a sheet with hotel rates too
Which Derm programs offer free hotel? Henry Ford, Mayo-Rochester, Mayo-AZ... others? Penn State, I'm there this week.
Nice
Geisinger pays fo hotel as well
Mayo-Jacksonville too
Southern Illinois university as well
why are the 1/8 and 1/15 interview dates so popular? SO many schools with conflicting dates on those days that i would have LOVED to go to but was forced to choose :( there has to be a better system for this
the system is trickle, gimme dem invites! but seriously i dont know why schools do this, i guess its their way of filtering out even more candidates...<<i guess but then they miss out on some really great applicants that might have gone there. for example, i literally couldnt choose between two schools on those dates, so i just went with the more convenient flight option. Not because i liked one school more than the other....who knows if i would have been a better fit for the other school
man i feel for you, im not saying its right or anything.
I feel for UConn and Maryland internals/rotators. Only given 1 date << can you imagine if you rotated at both, and then had to pick between invites at JHU, UCSF, Northwestern, UC-Davis, UMiami, Mayo-AZ?<<that was me, i had to pick between ucsf, northwestern, mayo AZ, Davis, and hopkins <goals x3
i would love to have those problems
I hate the overlap especially since I have had to pick even though I only have 5 invites. However, with people going to 15+ or 20+ interviews, I'm glad they do this to force a little trickle. << problem is for some of us we already got rejected from these programs, so even if the spots are now open...it won't be to us :(
As someone with far more rejections than invites, we have to accept that those were not for us.
Just received Hopkins invite (245PM EST)! X4 Seems like a second round is going out now?<yes! x1<<in their letter they mention to let them know if there's a big issue with the dates because of other interviews. I do have an issue, but Im kind of scared to say so. Is anyone thinking about letting them know about date conflicts and seeing if they would be amenable to interviewing another day? <Yes I would absolutely say so. It is not fair to other applicants if you dont.
But they must know their dates conflict with other big research centers since they are suggesting we look at the calendar...<mayo arizona, UCSF, and hopkins all have same dates :'[[[[
but it sounds like they're willing to work around it?<thats what i was trying to gather...are they though?
they are not....they won't allow us to interview on another day :(
< AH!!! Congrats!! Are you an internal or rotator by chance?? Holding onto hope over here!!!<<yes, internal/rotator
AYYY congrats friend!! <external, no connection here<also internal/rotator here with invite : )
I think first batch was external and second batch was internal/rotators!?!
Congrats!!!!!! (as I refresh my email nonstop) x3
fml
is it over now..?
mayo clinic arizona invite x6
Congrats! x3
thoughts on this program?
interviewed here last year and loved it! Great program in a great location, the biggest drawback is that it's a small ;dept and only 2 res per year
awesome thank you! how does this Mayo Clinic site compare to the Rochester one in terms of resources, research, pathology and future job prospects (academic and private)
didn’t interview at Rochester but it’s for sure not as much of a powerhouse. They do have good faculty and research, lots of support for research and access to Mayo patient databases in the entire Mayo system including Rochester; lots of admin support for research as well, like someone can write and submit your IRB stuff etc. as far as I remember
That's awesome! Are you guys internal or rotators by chance?<<nope, external no ties x3 << mayo-AZ doesn't have internals...
LOL I'm an idiot << Well, they do, but not for this cycle. I think their med school opened last year.
Yo anyone made contact about the hotel reservation?
What the hell is going on with Hopkins and Mayo AZ??
Please elaborate
feel like invites are long overdue for them << instead of factoring it on last year's contact dates, a better predictor has been when the interview dates are coming up. both hopkins & mayo-AZ are in January <thank you, that's helpful to consider :)
Still a bunch of December programs haven't invited yet
Good morning everyone! Will interview invites be released 11/6/19? Yes: 5 No: 11 Programs: Mount Sinai, University of Miami, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Hopkins, Penn Actual: 0 As of 12:00PM today: 63% of programs have not sent out interviews and a sum total of ~171 derm spots have been offered interviews. What does this discrepency between the % of programs that have not been released and the large amount of spots that have not been offered interviews? That the 63% of interviews that have not been released encompasses the larger programs that have more spots and many that have already sent out interviews are smaller and more "regional". What's the point? IT IS EARLY and the overwhelming majority of spots have not been offered interviews yet AND even the ones that have been offered may not have offered for all their spots. On this equvelant day (i.e. first Wednesday of the month) in last years application cycle: 1 interview went out (George Washington University, which came out yesterday for us). Love, SD
Johns Hopkins and Penn are both overdue for interview invites this year. Hopefully, Vanderbilt sends its regular ones out today << Mayo AZ is also pretty overdue << Also, to the neurotics among us, just know that Penn, Vanderbilt, and Johns Hopkins have historically sent out their invitations in batches
Penn's website says by 11/25
<Hopkins and penn - both of these places so far out of my reach it doesn't affect me << Try not to feel this way. I was on 0 for a long time and got 2 interviews at top 10 programs. My app is so regular that I assumed it was a mistake. The point is, you never know and no program is a reach.
<haha, Mt. Sinai practically sends after Christmas, but I like the wishful thinking!
12/6 in 2017, but yes, probs too early.
Will (more) interviews be released on (11/5/19)? Yes: 1 No: 0 Program Predictions: Mayo AZ, Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard, Minnesota, UMiami, Vanderbilt, Jefferson, Ohio State, Penn, UChicago, Wayne State, Texas Tech, UAB, SIU, Rush, Temple, UVA Actual IVs (4): Georgetown, Wash U (research), Henry Ford, George
< You know, there is the entirety of the West Coast to consider. We're still in business hours << I don't think it's updated to say we're done, just a running tally (the same row is moved up) << just updated it << 10+ person, can you please press CTRL+Z to not erase the field that was there or use the function to get the past entry back << Thank you for reverting it back to original
