❌1. Very fucking weird vibes while rotating there. Attendings are nice to your face, harsh behind your back. Residents (including chiefs) are talking shit about certain nurses. Everyone can be super cold (esp some of the nurses? idk maybe just a NYC thing). Residents ask you to do little personal errands not related to patient care.
💬1. Might be a NYC thing with the nurses; they've been on strike in the past few months and tensions been building up. Frequent discussions on r/residency about the dynamic between NYC nurses and residents. > personal errands sounds like some bullshit > a friend who did an away there told me he was asked to help with picking up a resident's child lol > that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard respectfully a crazy thing to ask a med student > these comments are years old btw and the vibes are immaculate this year

Did NYU Grossman IM Prelim invites come out?
Got an email a couple weeks ago saying they'd come out today at 2PM EST
Last year no one reported being invited…?>Interesting, how do you know?
look at last years sheet, people were angry about not being invited lol. They guessed they just take internal applicants…
Friend in categorical IM confirmed she got an invite, it's an L for us again this year it seems.
how many seats at nyu are actually open to the public? are all the past matches from internals actually pre-matched already?
wdym prematch
there are 2-3 prematch spots available per year but the number of those spots that are filled before match depends on the year
Are my chances for NYU cooked with a 248? Will my away there save me? < youll let us know come interview season. good luck!
aways make a huge huge difference @ nyu
Wdym huge difference
your performance is a huge consideration in ranking (compared to rotation mills)
then why do they match like 0 away rotators per year lol
i don't actually think aways make a big difference at nyu lol
they usually match 1-2 rotators a year, rest tend to be home students and then people from t10 schools
What are the best programs for Mohs? Interested in a residency with strong surgical training
NYU
I've heard places with a good track record of matching mohs include univ florida, univ arizona, Mayo, U Miami, UTSW
geisinger and iowa. geisinger has lots of mohs and one of the best mohs matching track rates. Iowa does a lot of mohs as well and has a very strong program
also Cincinnati and they always keep their own residents as fellow
hopkins, there was one year 3-4 ppl matched mohs from one class
the surgical training is pretty bad there though. But good job to that one year!
What does it take to match at a prestigious, t5 program like Penn/Harvard/Yale/NYU/Stanford, etc. Does anyone have any internal insight into what these program are looking for?
Idk what specific answer you’re looking for…. Quality research (first-author, novel research, no bullshit case report/research letter) preferably with faculty at a T5 institution, step score >260, amazing clinical LORs, and something cool, non-med/derm hobby or project on the side. Bonus points if you go to a T5 med school. And even after all of this, pray to the Gods. And then be a cool, normal person at interviews.
does it matter if your resesarch is accepted versus submitted-- for example if im first author on a translational work and its just submitted will this be a huge disadvantage
accepted is better than submitted, but at least you can put submitted on eras
my first-author research was accepted super late like a few days prior to start of derm interviews because mentor didn't care and tried to sabotage :/ I had to bring it up in interviews. Probably hurt my overall interviews but helped a lot to secure match.
there is no specific answer. you could try to google or talk to the residents accepted to these programs but even then you might not even know what secret sauce they have lol. but there's most likely something interesting about each one of them (even if it's personal history, prior career outside medicine). or you might know and not even realize what the programs are valuing.
Lol. Connections. I say this as someone that graduated from a top 5 program, matched derm, and watched a bunch of people with basically equivalent applications end up all over the place. You need to ask yourself why you want a top 5 program? What do you hope to gain? You planning on staying in academic derm? No one cares in the end.
what type of voodoo manifestation do.i need to do to match NYU (im mid and slightly awkward)

get cracked
go to their med school and prematch as an MS2
they prematch ms2s?
yeah they have the 3 year residency pipeline program where you apply for residency early before matriculation / during m1 / during m2
Which derm programs have the best cosmetics training? I've scoured some of the past sheets/SDN and sometimes UCI, Kaiser LA, and Samaritan are mentioned. Any others?
saw in previous sheets that cosmetics were top-notch at nyu, especially compared to other t5s
Yes for UCI and Kaiser LA! I'm not familiar with Samaritan
anyone know what nyu is looking for in applicants? it's my dream program but i don't have any connections
Idk what they are looking for, but the residents seem so happy esp for a t5. one can dream sigh
did anyone for NYU get confirmation after they accepted the away
anyone else gunning for nyu as their dream program?
Everyone and their mothers
fam am i delulu for wanting to match NYU without a RY as a non-internal?
it's possible ;) lock in

Anyone with BU offer willing to switch for September block
BU sucks
u good?
did the earlier months come out
anyone with NYU August-September willing to switch for November
ill give you my June for your November- msg me!
Yes, September text me 9858077676!
PSA, there are some programs like NYU and Stanford that are not on VSLO, they have their own sites for aways. So if you're really interested in a specific program, look up what system they use for away applications, dont' assume it will show up on VSLO unless that's what they've been doing every year
Stanford is on VSLO they are just done taking apps. I believe NYU also already closed
when will nyu decisions be out? have ppl heard?
got an offer from NYU but in november they say interviews aren't guaranted do people still usually get interviews
would you be willing to switch your NYU in november to september text me 985-807-7676
