❌1. Call seems to be the worst out of all the New York schools. Great exposure but the residents seemed tired

Out of einstein, columbia and cornell which only take home/aways - still havent built my list and crashing out:/
historically
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
previous years' soreadsheets
columbia tea?
difficult if you don't speak spanish
what makes you say this? plenty of their residents dont speak spanish

Cornell vs Columbia? pros and cons
From the cornell info session, it seems like they only take people who do away rotators there, is this true?
my resident friend there said historically it's away rotators or home students/other ppl from Manhattan med schools
is this the same for columbia?
tbh I feel like most of the nyc programs are like this
what about harvard?
i got interviews at nyu, columbia, cornell with no nyc connections and no away and being from far away, did not get mt sinai. harvard does not take into account whether you did an away or not in their interview invites; i interviewed there as well
ya i was told not to really bother applying if I didn't do an away because all the interviews are pretty much given to home/away students
do we know what schools are more open with interviews? seems like most do very few other than home and aways
it is easy to tell you schools who dont interview openly (UTMB, UT san antonio), please feel free to add the list.>

Ask your away programs if they differentiate between gold and silver for rotators. Otherwise just gotta be a good applicant
Thoughts on doing an away at U Missouri - Columbia?
doesn't always interview rotators if you look at last year's sheet
any firsthand experiences?
thoughts on Columbia? and has anyone heard back from the away?
rejected x 2
Was anyone accepted to Columbia or just rejects? lol
anyone else applying 2/research-track in this post-apocalyptic funding hellscape
Yes....MD/PHD here - we'll see how it shakes out...
See you on the interview trail I guess >lol in the same boat
UW has taken their academic track off and I'm really sad boy
idk how secure even the T32-funded places are, since columbia got their MSTP T32 axed>is this due to our orange man funding cuts?
yeah, his personal vendetta> 🍅🍅🍅(these are tomatos)
I'm glad we're applying at literally the worst possible time, even worse than COVID (I assume you all switched from med to grad school around then too)> looks like OHSU is not offering 2 this year either

11 people are ranking mount sinai #1? is that a typo
they have a lot of RY fellows and home students + NYC draws in non-internals too
RIP cornell damn
least popular NYC schools are Columbia and NYU
why is columbia less populat? location?
Hi guys, I'm trying to decide where I should go for med school. If you have any input I would appreciate it. Cornell vs Columbia. I want to match derm if you have any personal experience or heard from your friends or what not. <333 sending love for match day
anyone heard from U Iowa/ U Missouri -Columbia (aways)?
lots of internals for Iowa, may not hear back until 6-8 weeks before block start day>what months are internals usually given? < all of them
got an offer (from UM-Columbia) for late Nov-Dec, they said the rest of the earlier rotations are full
Anyone know how many students can rotate per month at Iowa?
How are the Columbia RYs?
not good have history of making ppl do a lot of years old chair was toxic but loyal at least with new chair less toxic but unclear how it impacts matching chances for those who want to stay
Is the NRMP programn directory actually correct? Because they only have 2 spots listed for Columbia but I thought they were taking 4 this year
