What applicants said about Montefiore Med Ctr/Einstein-NY in the 2020 cycle

Most clinics are resident-run, so they work hard and have lots of autonomy. Because there is no affiliated VA, my impression was that the surgical volume is not the highest. Having said that, they seem to really take care of their residents; there is a reported 90% match rate for surgical fellowships, partly because they like taking their own residents.

Noone has failed boards since the 1980's and they score within the 98th %ile most years

not really any white skin though lol

Chair was a mess. Interview day was a mess lol That aside it's a solid program - It's a "division" of medicine so there's something going on there but you'll get solid training. More skin of color. A little travelling. If it's your first time living in NYC the Bronx may be a little underwhelming but it's a pretty solid program for "the city".

sometimes getting there too early is bad, more likely will have awkward moments of silence of forced conversation that will be remembered than positive conversation

ugh, totally agree > early is on time

Pretty strong and well rounded

skin of color, that's about it.

< I think so. I did get an email confirming that date, though, so maybe send them an email next week if you don't hear back

thank you!

Same idea as Michigan << what does that mean? << see below

Einstein for location and patient diversity<einstein is in the bronx, not a great location...I'd go to Michigan hands down, it is superior in every aspect

michigan so you don't have to live in the bronx

einstein so you can live in NYC and not ann arbor<lol any other thoughts on programs itself?

Michigan has ?malignant reputation FWIW

What kind of dermatologist do you want to be? Academics? Michigan hands down. Amazing network. Their residents go on to become Chairs of departments. Einstein for gen derm

congrarts

thanks! So excited for this one!<thoughts on this program anyone?

its nyc so its good, thats basically all i know.

arent those the only two left? what about casewestern?

there's a lot left (loma linda, case western, einstein, brown ucla, fsu, temple, baylor in dallas, etc.)

I have about 10 places I applied to that have not sent invites/external invites...and I did not apply everywhere x2 <just look at the interview invites spreadsheet to see who's left

has baylor come out? (it seems that baylor houston already did)

baylor houston came out for internals only so far (pls correct this if I'm wrong)

UCLA sent externals very late in the past. A few of the others wait until this week...and a few are very very late compared to the past haha

< when is sinai's interview dates?

Nope x5

nah not yet x2

yes

confirmed my acceptance, but did not confirm an exact date yet for me

External, non-rotator x2

any rotators get an invite? ...no << no rotators got an invite, or you are a rotator and didnt get an invite? << rotator, no invite

im so sorry dude. i had something similar happen to me.

im literally from long island and i didnt get an interview. i straight up do not understand what is going on. X2 is it just me or should these programs be required to at least interview applicants born/raised there - my family’s tax dollars pays for the hospital << idk if thats supposed to be an insult at me, i was just saying that geographically i was hoping to receive an invite and i didn't get one. not that i should have mandatory got one.

not an insult. I’m serious

<--- yeah, programs don't think like that. They just want the best residents they can get.

i obv dont think im a bad applicant, guess im just not good enough for anyone

literal aunt becky moment happening to the left

Colorado x2, UCLA, UCSD x2, UT Austin x2, University of Florida, Hofstra, Brown, maybe USC, Stanfordx2?

stanford comes out first week of december

source?x2

< how do you know? x3

<yeah fake news. PC told me they'd come out by the end of November
