you think its too late to keep applying for aways?
I think yield will probably be lower but one of my friends applied in May 2 years ago and got 2 for September/October
just see what is still open on the spreadsheet. also would try to call them and ask or email. i think it varies too much by program to say its too late
SIU is openning tomorrow 5/1 you can apply --> never thought i would pray to be accepted to the cornfields but here we go
No. I applied to UC Davis dermpath yesterday and got an offer today.
offered SIU 9/29-10/24, looking for 10/27-11/21>are you internal?> no-b
When did you hear back? < yesterday has anyone else heard back from SIU?
Thoughts on the SIU interview? I Thought it was tough
can someone expand on the tea about SIU
Anything from SIU? I think they were releasing today >> the spread sheet says a december date now
SIU sent a notification that all interviews have been sent out < Got a rejection but honestly really respect them for actually letting me know < also got a rejection, and very thankful to have a clear answer from them! < also got a rejection
lol told y'all siu is all talk x2 < what does this mean < guessing the performative diversity championship. used to think it was because people didn't apply but its more that it is bullshit < They got an absolute gem of an applicant this year <3
Anyone know anything about Southern Illinois University's derm program? Would appreciate any insight
SIU rejection killing my dr pimple popper dreams
That SIU email making my heart stop D: < these people are completely oblivious, sending stupid ass messages for no reason. Also AAMC, how hard is it to make different emails for messages, invitations, rejections etc?
I just found out Dr. Pimple Popper went to residency at Southern Illinois University or something and now realize that none of this matters b/c where you go for residency doesn't even predict your future success lol > dermies can make anything happen > yeah i think people are obsessed with reputation on this spreadsheet which is so interesting, it really doesn't matter some of the most famous academic derms didn't all come through Harvard/Penn/NYU x3 dont tell that to the same 20 people clogging up this spreadsheet with questions about the same 3 programs lmfao!
for those interviewing at SIU tommorow the times listed are in central time i assume? It doesnt say anywhere i can see?
Double checking is there no pre-interview event for SIU (southern illinois)
