NYU Grossman School Of Medicine-NY

Very unrelated but anyone else feel some type of way about NYU med school being able to game the rankings and go from being ranked in the 30's to 2 in the matter of a decade... wtf < the power of $$ < The whole thing makes me feel dirty... How could a healthcare institution care so much about rankings that they had to artificially inflate themselves < the whole ranking system is trash as many of us remind people here of all the time so maybe we just need to stop caring so much about them < rankings don't mean shit. prestige doesn't mean shit. until we applicants get our heads screwed on and realize it's all a facade, these schools will continue to game the system (and us) to their advantage.

Anyone feel like NYU interviewers gave them praise or were more neutral < mix of both, two of the rooms were particularly stoic <more praise from all rooms, I was kinda surprised tbh heard they're told to keep it neutral for everyone < doubt it was "all rooms" lmao < I agree. Was surprised too. Felt like most or all rooms were a lot of praise.

are we supposed to go play games on breaks during NYU interview or can we just wait for next interview?

Plz fill out post-IV impressions for NYU! x2

I keep reading on here "rank based off where you will be happy" and while yes there is merit to that, that should not be the only factor. I got accepted to medical schools close to my support system but turned those down for a more prestigous med school far away where I knew I would be less happy. 4 years later I am so thankful to have done that and not only did i open up doors I couldn't at the other schools, I have grown so much as a person and this would not have happened had I gone to the schools I would have been happier at< it depends the inidvidual definition of happiness. Some people value prestige while other value family. Residency might be different from medical school and it matters less in terms of job market. < okay but someone choosing to rank a top program isn't necesarily doing it for the "prestige". They could be doing it because they want to learn from renowned faculty, because they want to open up more doors in the future, because they want to grow more as a person etc. I find it hard to believe people are ranking Harvard or NYU #1 just because they want the "prestige" of saying they trained there< I did not intend to dichotomize using prestige as just one factor. People also care about things like you decide to pursue. There is NO universal rule < Agreed, I am just playing devil's advocate btw. I am not seeing too many people sharing my perspective on here openly.< thx for sharing your voice! Everyone's voice needs to be heard < how does OP know they wouldn't have "grown as much as a person" at any other school, considering their point of reference is only one school? < I'm OP because the city my school is in has taught me so much vs the other schools are close to home. I wouldn't have had this added perspective of my new city < but you can't actually be 100% sure about this. you have only had the one experience < This is not true. I experienced my home city for 25 years and I know for a fact I could not have had the experiecnes that my much, much bigger city afforded me in med school. It wasn't just my institutition, it was the city it was in

Do you think top programs (T5-T0) are going to take mostly home students or outside students this year? I think there's data out there showing that more people last year matched at home programs with virtual interviewing but not sure what people are predicting this year. aka wondering if i have a chance or not if i see a ton of internals on my interview day lol // It's always been the case that your best chance of matching is at your home derm program.< well if you did away rotation, you would have better chance < Even with an away rotation that's not necessarily true. See all the people who do audition electives at NYU or UCSF. < not op but what if you didn't get invited to your home program but got a bunch of interviews elsewhere lmao < I would like to point out that NYU and UCSF take a majority of non-home students. < NYU & UCSF take a lot of people who have never rotated there before as an audition elective. Same with Penn.

does anyone's palms get sweaty during interviews? < no but sometimes my knees get a little weak < Need a lil botox in my palms < doesn't that make your arms heavy? << no because my palms won't be sweaty < but that might get vomit on your sweater if ur not careful < mom's spaghetti < I'M NERVOUS (for my nyu interview tomorrow)< you look calm and ready to me!! < I forgot what I wrote down in my personal statement tho< < don't worry, the interview room will be so loud so you don't have to speak any words < dude but before I know it the clock's run out and I'm in the break out reality room (y are interviews so short)< It's frustrating but don't be mad; I know you won't give up that easy! < guess it's back to the lab again (to write another fucking case report) < lose yourself in the literature, the moment 🎶

Anyone else's NYU schedule tomorrow morning just a series of breaks (with no link) and interviews (with links)?

For folks attending NYU interview, is there a PD welcome session before the interview?

Did NYU lose a current resident in PGY-4? I could've sworn it was larger

Can we get a T10 tab going? The T10 interviews are picking up now. < yassss < we are not having a separate sheet for T10s.< Ok. Don't get salty and get HTN with all the incoming NYU, Stanford, UCSF, Penn, Harvard etc discussions < there have already been discussions about Harvard and Penn and no one got salty, stop projecting< trying to keep the main chat more inclusive; I imagine it can't be fun for people who didn't get II from their dream programs to be reading about the privileged few who collected them like Thanos collected the infinity stones <well such is life and we need to stop glorifying these programs anyway. a derm program is a derm program.

Which programs are known to treat their residents as work horses in terms of call, poor benefits, etc.? << Many of the top tier academic Derm programs in terms of hours, which isn't surprising. You have 3 years to try to learn as much Dermatology as you can, and you learn best with high volume and repeated exposure as a resident until you're finally out on your own as a full-fledged attending. There's a reason places like Harvard, NYU, UCSF, Penn, UTSW, U Miami, etc. have really well-trained residents which sets them up well for fellowship programs, if they decide to do one. < there are alot of solid mid tier programs that do the same without the malignancy. we need to stop making excuses for these top places

Does NYU or Harvard have an instagram page?

Any thoughts on Harvard v Penn v NYU v Yale? And then UCSF v Stanford, and how to weigh these two west coast programs vs Northeast? Anything other than geographic preference that one should think about?< It comes down to autonomy and ancillary support. Some of these programs give more than others. Some lack things the other have. No program is 100% complete, it just needs to check the most boxes on your list.

Anything interesting from NYU diversity talk? Was going to attend but had an emergency <main take aways: lots of diversity efforts both within the department and nyu as a whole. specific mentorship and leadership opportunities to help those interested in academia. lots of specialty clinics in SOC. Very diverse patient population in general. Overall, impressed <Amazing, thank you kind soul!<sounds like a great culture over there not competitive enough for NYU obv but just because you are not the best derm applicant doesnt mean you should drag an institution over jealousy. ones career path is long - who knows you could very well make your way into being an attending there one day if you keep at it!<huh? < i think they were just venting out loud/pepping themselves up, lol. i respect it.
