Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

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.”

another question on that note--let's say I'm interviewing at a program with both categorical and advanced spots (like ohio state, indiana, mayo rochester, etc.)--if it's a huge priority for me to spend my prelim year with my SO/family/whatever, can I rank the advanced spot high and the categorical spot low? <Nobody sees your rank list, you can do whatever you want

what matters more to you ultimately for ranking between two programs: program with worse clinical training but in dream city (for example UIC), or program with stellar clinical reputation but in the middle of nowhere (Mayo)< Mayo will set you up to live wherever after residency
