Why is everyone obsessed with tiers? How much does it matter when getting a job? Also is nyu really high tier? I am not sure the average patient would be impressed by it >> NYU bottom tier for me I'm not into workhorse programs

2025–2026 Derm
2 entries❌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

is applying nyu worth it if i don't go to nyu? half of their pgy2 class is from nyu lol < they take so many of their early admit people and even those without it lol
Can any NYers give some tea on the NY programs; particularly vibes at Mt Sinai vs NYU?
from reddit: Cautionary Tale: Personal Statement Editing Services. I got burned by an NYU Derm resident . Is NYU derm toxic??
Looking at the 2 tab, it mentions NYU, but I can't find that program. I see the Cutaneous Biology Fellowship but it's not clear if that's part of the residency or not. Any people familiar with their program that can explain this? < dont think they are centered on research < they have a T32 track that you can apply into as an investigative track once you are in the residency < thanks!
Does anyone else think its crazy that there are 2 derm spots at NYU for people who go through their 3 year MD track even though that track was for primary care?<<<Yes, this is super crazy and I had no idea. What's the point of a Primary Care Track, if they aren't going primary care? Any repercussions? <<no repercussions, I know someone who was the 3yr track < just a way to fast track nepobabies into an elite derm program #equity + 1
Can someone fill out NYU and Columbia's match list?
NYU took 4 of their own this year< oh :(
What are the top 10 derm programs? Is there a clear consensus on this?
Penn UCSF Harvard NYU Stanford Yale Mount Sinai Northwestern UTSW etc.
It matters for people who want to go into academics/do research... << LOL, no it doesn't. Academia is in need of dermatologists. Beggars can't be choosers.
why does yale always match people from nnon-top tier schools? do people from top schools not rank it high?< this isn't true< why would they rank it high? overrated. < that and they like people who send LOI, top applicants wouldn't usually send a LOI to Yale < so they would rather have desperate people who want to be at yale than top applicants. sounds like they have pride/ego issues < this year they were super committed to URIM recruitment because they have an image issue and really want to diversify the program. Usually they take a bunch of internals and people from other Ivy League schools. < current roster has no other top schools? < internal here…they seem to care most about board scores/research achievements + wanting to come to Yale + internal applicants. I know for a fact that they don't care much about where the applicants come from but more about what they've done since starting med school. The chief resident I worked with in clinic there told me that they almost never like Harvard applicants because they too often are arrogant or are not as accomplished as similar applicants from lower tier schools who have had to work hard to be competitive. I kind of get that based on my experience with Harvard people tbh lol. But they've also taken NYU, Cornell, Stanford people in the past 5 years just to name a few.
Match list for Mt Sinai or NYU?
Reposting because deleters: I compiled the percentages of residents from top programs who also came from top medical schools.

Does anyone know why Sinai's faculty are all so new..? < new chair, new vision from what i've heard. they've had some really impressive recent recruits. < could you name some of those people? < Brian Kim, neuroimmune guru<<<Jesse Lewin, top Mohs surgeon << let alone the chair Dr. Gutman, Darrell S Rigel < With all of these faculty changes, how has the culture been? < not malignant at all, they have very good schedule < from the open house, it sounds like they also got a senior path faculty from Columbia (Niedt) and a new one joining soon from NYU (Randie Kim), also Andrew Ji from Stanford < great news, they need more dermpath faculty < was legit impressed tonight <<< Does Mark Lebwohl have much of a role as he used to in the Dermatology program at Sinai? < Lebwohl is a giant. Still very involved with trials/teaching students and residents. < Sorry, I more mean from the residency program administration side. I know Gutman took over for him. < Guttman took over as chair, I don't think there's been any recent change in program admin (PD/APD) << I rotated at Sinai and PD seems great << slightly OT, but does anyone know from the open house if you need a car to commute between sites?>>>no car needed-shuttle available < thx so much! < whats up with NYU's dermpath faculty heard a bunch of them are leaving? like from the above comment about Dr. Kim<theres not a bunch leaving, stop spreading misinformation. There is just one, as mentioned above.
noticing a lot of ppl asking about NYU prelim - just a heads up that derm applicants don't look like they are eligible (i wasted money on an app only to discover this 10 minutes after i submitted) "Please note that at this time, only preliminary positions linked to neurology and anesthesiology are available." https://med.nyu.edu/departments-institutes/medicine/education/internal-medicine-residency < There is a seperate set of programs that say "Med-Prelim/Anesthesia" and "Med-Prelim/Neurology" so I think they mean only the those specalties have a linked prelim-advanced < oh maybe! oh well I withdrew my app after that lol.
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
nah < I second that motion, not worth it < meant nah as in know nothing about it. but if i had to guess i would say if i did know something about it id also say nah in that context < nah
