I'm not able to edit the new fame & shame sheet but been waiting to drop this about Northwell (tried to post about this before rank lists were due but was accused of trying to manipulate others' rankings): during my rotation, I walked in on a faculty member/resident using a racial slur while referring to my co-rotator. the convo immediately stopped when I entered the room. I later reported the incident through Hofstra’s official reporting channels, but nothing came of it. neither my co-rotator nor I ended up receiving interviews from the program (which is whatever). despite the program appearing to have a diverse group of residents, I would strongly caution against rotating at Northwell if you’re a POC

omfg? lock the cell

what was the slur, asking for a friend

size 96 font and bolded please, I'm hard of sight

YES one interviewer said "im going to use you for CME review" then asked about details of my publication haha

per doximity they are #19 in country

The doximity rankings are moot.

They gotta a lot of mohs

what about cosmetics?

Very lacking

at least monthly cosmo sessions tho

i thought it was pretty fair, faculty seemed to drill questions and there wasnt much banter or small talk. could be because i didnt rotate nor was I home student so they wanted to know me, wbu

felt the same. Had some small talk but mostly back to back questions about research. Not sure if there was room to show any personality especially not being a rotator or home student

agreed alot of research q. was lowkey lame, wanted to tell more about myself who cares about research

research, really??? thats kind of interesting

mostly chill? they werent super friendly and nobody asked me to tell them about myself just straight to questions. also some of them def hardly read my app

Additionally, faculty are discouraged from communicating on behalf of applicants to program directors and faculty at other institutions, either before or after interviews. Program faculty can reach out directly to letter-writers or faculty at other institutions to ask questions about an applicant or to gather more information than is available in the letter or application, but this should be instigated by the interviewing program, not by the applicant or an applicant’s faculty mentor/advisor.

Post-interview communication of preference – including “letters of intent” and thank you letters – should not be sent to programs. These types of communication are typically not used by residency programs in decision-making and lead to downstream pressures on applicants.

would your 1/21s not interfere with eachother?

wtf is a Feldman

"a feldman" god derm is so hilariously gay

how else would you have liked me to phrase it damn

not surprised given that its such an israeli department

who are the Feldmans?

this is so insane, i can't believe it.. just saw a video about her and her family's links to epstein

and she's the daughter of a billionaire omg?

Deleted: "Guttman scares me legit and I only saw her at a conference like once

Looked up the Feldman btw. Some big name derm at Wake

i'm just gonna say this - there are very powerful ppl in the background that influence things. not unique to derm

I mean she still had to do an RY at Sinai

THIS is the tea im here for

drop her name

she's pretty easy to find, there's another mt sinai derm resident who is also the daughter of a multimillionaire (like 100s) which is wild

Celina Dubin. Just say the god damn name. Stop trying to be mysterious.

imagine applying to mount sinai that year as an innocent little applicant hoping to get in off of just your credentials, and then here you have the daughter of a billionare hedge fund manager who's connected to epstein applying with you.

a lot of people, especially at Sinai, are children/grandchildren of very wealthy people. There are multimillionaires in every class and around 60% of folks don't take out loans. If they aren't super wealthy, they have a parent who is an attending/faculty at Sinai. But also, Guttman don't care unless you do an RY at Sinai.

Honestly, we were all dealt different cards in life, and the only way to get the dream is to punch upward and try your best when you aren't given a full house.

I love being a random regular person that matched at a better program than Sinai

That's what I'm talking about. I know it's been at least a year since you matched, but from one random regular person to another, congrats!

yeah dude i get it, i didn't take out loans and my parents are millionaires sure but in the order of 10-15 million not 100+ million or billionaires enough to influence me going to certain undergrad, med school, residency or meeting people that will put me in the right rooms to get into freaking Sinai Derm

umm, so most people in college don't fit your demographic. I guess the grass is always greener looking at people at higher socioeconomic statuses, but when your parents are millionaires, and not 100mill/billionaires, you still were afforded opportunities that most others didn't have. But also, the best shot at matching at Sinai is being a Sinai student and doing an RY with Guttman, answering her 6am on a weekend phone calls telling you to come in during your RY, hoping she doesn't hate you and she loves you enough that you aren't 1 out of the 3 fellows that don't match and will never match. There are many programs, specifically in NYC, that will not rank you high enough if you are a Guttman/Sinai RY fellow. It's literally why almost no sinai student matches outside of Sinai (except Stanford every couple of years, Einstein sometimes).

why is it that all the hardcore zionist faculty are the meanest ones> tbh if ur a proponent of colonization and genocide maybe u need to be ousted from professional environments idk just a thought

a lot of leadership at derm programs in places like NY are hardcore Zionist, so what do we do about that "

Steve Feldman is an absolute angel and does not belong in this discourse. I highly doubt he even knows this girl or her family> Feldman is a mfin G and he's anti Israel. Never speak bad on my homie ever again

on a similar note: what's the best program in a major city?

Harvard or Penn (if you consider Boston and Philly decent sized cities)

NYC Power Rankings: Mount Sinai

I'd say it goes: NYU

Really?? What makes montefiore above Sinai /columbia?

NYU

Columbia = NYU

Cornell

Albert Einstein

Rochester

SUNY Downstate = Stony Brook

Northwell

NYMC

St. John's Episcopal

St. Barnabas

Montefiore = SUNY Downstate

Sinai = Columbia = Cornell

NYMC. (Rochester and Stony Brook are not NYC, and idk anything about St John's/St. Barnabas)

Sinai >= Columbia = Cornell

yes> have you gotten any details from the program yet?

POOP

i think so, it was via thalamus, felt like a mass message

:( rip

hmmm

did everyone just get an invtie lol or did they only send it to epople who the would take? I have the same question

"We will not require you to have an actual interview with a faculty member. instead you will be requested to sign up for one of five webinars with muself to learn more about our prelim program..."

but what does that mean?

my interpretation is that they already have a rank list based off the application and that these sessions are for applicants to learn more/ask questions abt the program

agreed
