When a program says they have "academic half days", does this just refer to study time or lectures

Anyone know the tea at MCW? They are a huge school and didn't match a single internal candidate. Just curious LMAO

#34242025–2026 DermMar 21

I dont blame programs for favoring internal candidates. The cycles are brutal. Many internal candidates have built great rapport and community with their program, why shouldn't they be favored?

> as someone who did not match at their home program, i completely agree. Programs should value their home students when able
