Fame & Shame

1. The faculty and residents are incredibly kind

1. Not their fault, but the commute between sites really sucks and is why I won't be ranking it higher. Most residents live in UES which is great but the commute is between 45 min to 1 hr 15 depending on what site you're at.

Do we think Einstein/Monte dropped their full interview invite list?

Does anyone know how long the prelim year interview sessions at Montefiore New Rochelle are? Mine just has a start time of 9am but I don't see an end time

For anyone else who got the Zucker hofstra/northweel prelim II - does this mean there's no actual interview and the slot we're signing up for on thalmus is just for the info session?

#10602025–2026 DermFeb 21

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

Last miinute but say Albert Einstein requires 1 away LoR? what if we didn't do an away, does this mean we are automatically disqualified?

#8582025–2026 DermFeb 21

it means call the coordinator tomorrow and ask bestie! It's their job to answer questions like this!

every program is going to have some preference towards people they know. look at past match lists to see to what extent and plan accordingly.> a lot of the match lists dont indicate if they did aways or not how are people finding this out

Does Einstein often take non RY people? Are they a pretty research focused residency (i.e want students who have done lots of research)

#6262025–2026 DermFeb 21

There's a match list page here that can give you that info

Thoughts on UCSD? Really thinking about an away there, would love to do residency there as well.

#412025–2026 DermFeb 21

would love to know if UCSD is one of those programs where if you get an away it truly means they are considering you - I know other programs (wake forest, northwestern, penn) are rotation mills

Feb 21
0

UCSD would be so cool to rotate at but ik it's an investment so also wondering if it's worth rotating there>>> only do an away if you are from a prestigous school for them to consider you

Look at who they matched/prior matches, that should tell you everything (they love prestige)

the prestige thing is super true for UCSD. I II'd there from a mid-tier school and I was the only one not from like a top 20 lol

would you consider coming from Sinai to be prestigious or nah

they matched someone from Einstein this year and that was the "lowest" rank school they matched

Feb 21

seemed like they did an away there so maybe an away is worth doing if you aren't from a "top" school?

For Albert Einstein/Montefiore, do we know how these rounds of IVs work? Do they send half on 11/18 and the other half on 12/2? Or what's the logic behind these.

is einstein releasing more on 12/2 as per the sheet or is it done?
