Fame & Shame

✅1. The didactics and the faculty were top tier. Location is hard to beat and so is the salary and housing. Residents seemed happier here than any other program I rotated at. They don't pay much attention to medical students compared to other schools, but were very kind when I made conversation. Seemed that they just wanted to focus on their work. Ranking highly.
✅2. I feel like I had a totally different experience than the shame commenter in terms of training. The residents I was with did essentially all procedures in clinic and let me help with some. The faculty rarely if ever stepped in, and when they did I thought they offered helpful clinical pearls. I wonder if this is attending dependent. I also felt that the consult service is very reasonable for their volume (2-3 months/year with the other 10ish months spent on clinic) and is a significant pro of the program because of the variety of cases you will see
❌1. One of the most overrated programs out there where it's only saving grace is the name and location. One of the allergy attendings is incredibly rude (ifykyk) and it's clear he does not give a damn about medical students or even residents for that matter. He should not be working with rotators if he hates them that much. Despite being in the city, vibes are very weird if you're a POC. Training is abysmal, residents are micromanaged for simple procedures like biopsies and rarely get the autonomy to do any themselves. A ridiculous proportion of your training is spent doing consult medicine which 99% of applicants are not even interested in. I ended up ranking very low due to my eye-opening horrible experience there.
❌2. Residents are be a bit standoff-ish and seem stressed overall. They like each other but not the med students. For example, a resident said they left a room bc they didnt want to be in there with the med student. If you do the 2 week IM rotation, it'll be hard to get an II bc you see less faculty. The 4 week is better bc you rotate with different faculty & they send the II once you finish the away. Residents are not part of the interview process but they will report back to faculty if there's concerns. The allergy guy in the previous comment is likely Dr. Z. He's def just blunt at first but then on a good day, hes actually pretty nice and make jokes. Its very 50/50. Either way he doesnt contrib to the interview process. Its a huge faculty, but half of them dont even interview you so its very interesting. you dont rotate at lincoln memorial
💬1. Residents dont seem to like eachother. competitive vibes even among eachotehr > only did a 2 week away here so maybe i didnt get the full vibe as a 4 week away student, but the residents seemed to be good friends with each other. idk what theyd be competing for lol theyre already in residency
What schools only take research fellows? I've heard Mount Sinai and Mayo Arizona but are there others? Same with away rotators only (basically which programs to avoid signalling unless you rotated at)
I think most small programs 2 or fewer reisdents/class tend to take primarily away rotators/fellows not just Mayo AZ, however mayo AZ especially isnt worth it unless you did a research fellowship with them. Sinai also as you said, but they are a big program just with tons of fellows that are essentially guaranteed a spot. UCLA also past years has also taken primarily research fellows. Programs that heavily favor away rotators tend to be NYC programs, especially cornell. Texas programs tend to primarily recruit from texas schools or away rotators with texas connections. USF primarily takes those with regional connections. CWRU usually takes home students and their own research fellows. Wouldnt even bother with the Larkin programs unless you have no other choice and can pay for a spot. Hopefully this is helpful, will try to add more if I think of any

Texas programs will take Texans that went to medical school outside of the state (got interviews at every Texas school I applied to and did medical school in another state - am Texan)
something to think about is that cornell and columbia have twice as much call as sinai and nyu due to class size

Anyone with a Cornell two-week inpatient elective willing to switch? Currently have 11/9-11/22 and am looking to switch for a october, late november, or december date
What are the chillest programs in liberal cities? (bonus points if they have decent cosmetic training) I dont care about prestige/research but think i am a decently competitive applicant
cornell barely matches 1 fellow, if any, per year (correct me if im wrong)

Can people who got a Cornell interview fill in the interview offers sheet? Curious how many are internal students vs research year fellows vs away rotators, from the current spreadsheet it looks like they'll definitely have a next round release? Odd that so many away rotators didn't get an II so far
damn I did an away and gold signaled. 0/6 today I am crushed. Spent thousands of dollars and thought I did really well.

i did away + gold signalled too - i'm hoping that other away students hear 11/17!

I hope you both hear back on 11/17 cause otherwise that's bullshit

is that a match violation to inquire if not given an interview?
Feb 21

its not a violation if you're simply asking whether applicants are still being considered or not

regardless of whether or not it's a match violation it's a clown move. Not tryna be rude homie just gotta keep it real even though it sucks

So what is the rationale behind not interviewing an away rotator that signaled gold, is in state, received an amazing eval from the PD, and a LOR from that program? I honestly don't get it.

they have people they pre-picked based on even stronger connections and they want diversity (in every sense of the word aka age gender activities experiences etc). I'm just speculating tho

you could be the best applicant in the world but if the program You're applying to already has someone like you, you'll probably not match there

OP, how was your relationship with the residents? at least at my institution that is just as important, if not more important, than eval from faculty

Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
