❌1. You have to be one of Mangolds fellows to match here. It is a waste of 1 of 28 applications otherwise. The match history of the last however many years speaks for itself, but a current attending at Mayo AZ said to me (slight paraphrasing) “you just have to do what he says for a year and they’ll take you.”

everyone keeps saying Mayo is amazing and has hella great benefits but it seems like a lot of what other programs offer. Whats the hype?
i will give u perspective as someone who strongly considered mayo for med school - it is small-knit community and if you want to stay in mayo system, it will be easier to find job (MN/FL/AZ)

Anyone know programs that have good fertility coverage in their insurance :D?
Penn, Columbia >Mayo has tons of support, UCSD also has robust fertility benefits (I think 20-30k)

Is there a way to see the fertility specific coverage in a plan or did the programs specifically highlight it as a benefit? would love to know which programs have coverage!

what's the deal with honorhealth? lots of ppl ranking it high> sunshine
honestly seems like a great program, just small residency size

2 residents per year. because of this, you do take call each year of training, but volume seems very manageable and the 2027 match will have 3 residents so call getting decreased

Can anyone in Minnesota talk about how safe they feel the state is? Interviewed at Mayo and really liked the program, but with all the news recently in MN, wondering if I should consider that into rank, esp as a POC
as a POC in MN I can say that I generally feel safe,w ith what's going on right now the activity is certainly more concentrated in different areas of town, but what i will say is MN really looks after their neighbors and community so they've helped me to feel right at home but we're all a lil shook rn tbh lol (also, this isn't just a MN specific problem ) >Just don't try to run ICE over with your car and you'll be fine -7 >I disagree with the last comment, u won't be fine, the most recent news is really disturbing

The questions were just really odd, specific behavioral ones. Every single one of them was a question I had never been asked / haven't been asked since and I've had a good number of derm interviews so far. Just kind of threw you off and you end up rambling. Probably was their goal so i guess they achieved it. But the questions weren't like unprofessional or anything

ok i'm n = 1 but i disagree with this one i don't think it's odd specific behavioral but maybe i've had some overlapping interview q's. also the attendings are good vibes

Agreed with the left, they were specific where you couldn't really fit your prepped examples to the question, so you're left trying to come up with an example on the fly. Sometimes I felt like I didn't really have a good example that would make for a reasonable story

for the past like 3 months i've been talking with my BF/GF about stuff related to this dang journey and how i've been processing some of the more difficult things that happened, and legit about 4 of the questions' answers just came from those discussions. those questions were HARD though but the attendings were so nice that you didn't feel like you did badly lol

Why does a city like Baltimore get so much hate but not Rochester, MN? There’s absolutely nothing in Rochester, it’s cold and in the middle of nowhere
You are more likely to die in Baltimore than Rochester? Baltimore is butt cheeks so I'd prefer Rochester (I'm for SoCal too)

Rochester is great for raising a family, good Suburbs, cute downtown, safe, and mayo is a literal gorgeous Cush hospital all connected by skyways and subways so you don't have to walk in the cold to get around most times (they didn't interview me but 100/100 times I'd pick roch and mayo over Baltimore/hopkins no comparison)

The level of unsafeness in Baltimore is wildly exaggerated by people who have never lived there. The best thing about Rochester is that Minneapolis is 2hrs away.
