DO program for a few years - just started taking MDs last year -- Broward is one of the most favorable MD programs of the previous DO residencies. They're already almost 50/50 and many DOs have said that they think it will be 100% MD within 5 years. They also transitioned way early on and have been accredited for a while now

Likelihood of them actually taking MDs rather than DOs? Have heard even though these programs are now accepting MDs, they still prefer DOs

I know an MD who matched last year <you can see the current residents on the website. they have 3 MDs and 5 DOs. seems they are taking more MDs now

Haven't met an MD program with DO bias - rather way too many MD programs with MD bias.

Anyone able to switch Case Western/Metro Health who has 1/31 (I have 1/24)?
UH has 6 spots, 4 are MD and 2 are DO. It is more of an academic hospital. Metro is more of a community hospital and has 2-3 spots per year (2 this year). They are MD, but have been friendly to DOs in the past too. Both hospitals (and Cleveland Clinic) have affiliations with Case, but UH is basically what people mean when they say Case.
<email or eras? personalized? external/rotator/internal? thanks! <- email, generic, external and no regional ties <thanks and congrats! <what are their interview dates? January 11 and January 30

I have about 10 places I applied to that have not sent invites/external invites...and I did not apply everywhere x2 <just look at the interview invites spreadsheet to see who's left

baylor houston came out for internals only so far (pls correct this if I'm wrong)
x 2 how do we find out if we actually need this or not. Don't want to bomb it in case I have to do this all over again if I don't match...

For Case Western questionnaire, what is the difference between the second and third question?? x2I am so confused? What if we haven't taken all the cores yet?
i just filled out both of them the same bc i assume its a mistake << I filled it out before they added the 2nd questions 2 times
Mar 23

How can you not have taken the cores yet and be a MS4?<because some schools make it impossible to finish all your cores+do a derm elective/and or sub I+aways+time for research

For the Case Western questionnaire, what is the difference between questions 2 and 3? 2. Please click the option that represents the number of core rotations in which you obtained the second-to-top possible grade (High Pass, Commendable, or equivalent at your institution). Choose one. 3. Please click the option that represents the number of core rotations in which you obtained the second-to-top possible grade (Honors, Pass, Fail, or equivalent at your institution). Choose one. * * They updated the document and made a mistake --> yeah those questions are different than what I have #1. is asking for honors #2 is asking for high pass. >> Can someone please explain how to answer these questions? Does it mean if you have 6 high pass then you have zero second-to-top?
I would say N/A for #2 if you have 6 of the highest grades NOTE: Rotations included are: Family Medicine, Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Surgery.

Do you guys have your class rank? I don't know it and my school is giving me a hard time. Anyone having the same problem? << Not applying to CW but my school will not tell us our rank. << I did not put it in and just submitted. most schools do not tell you rank --> do you think it looks bad not to submit the class rank? What did you put in the box instead since it is required?

"N/A" or "not ranked" for schools that do not do internal rankings. Alternative is making something up haha, so I think they won't mind << absolutely ridiculous that they ask for this without going through your school

If we all put N/A they will have to actually read our applications.
i did not get it . | I thought i didn't, but then i checked and noticed I didn't apply to this one. oops << lol I forgot to apply too. Were they late in listing the program on ERAS or something? Because I applied to a lot of places and wouldn't have skipped saving it if I saw it.

Anyone got a Case western questionnaire? - is neuro considered a core clerkship? << what are the core clerkships?
they list the ones they consider on the top of the survey--- thank you! totally missed that. <<<< case western UH is a very malignant derm program....i interviewed there last year and hated it, didnt get good vibes from PD/Chair, and i also disliked how they sent us that survey that made it easier for them to judge us solely off metrics..

yesx10 4 questions on it: How many Honors? How many High Pass? Are you AOA? What is your Class Rank? ...wow << silly questions but if you aswer 6 in one then have to answer zero in the other right? or did i read it wrong?

wonder if they send this to all applicants? X2 << Not to be rude, but isn't all this in our application... << I agree with you 100% haha <<< so have they not even looked at our apps yet? lol << are they even allowed to ask for our class rank? I thought the Dean has to send that x2

Do you think "top grade" means A in general or A+.....? << Depends on what is the equivalent of H. you don't want to stretch the truth incase they look on your app after, but I agree it is hard to fill it out since we all have different grading scales and different cores

we don't have honors and they don't tell us our rank? also virtually no one gets an A+. idk how to fill this out

goes to show how silly the whole system is, we are being compared across schools in terms of grades, but each school does it so differently that it shouldn't really be such a big factor in whether we receive interviews or not at any institution. x2

Does anyone know the difference between the Metro Health and the University Hospitals program (both are Case Western)?
Mar 23

<Both are affiliated with Case; Metro is the county hospital, so you tend to see more Spanish-speaking patients, patients on Medicaid, etc; UH is more academic. Also UH is a bigger program (6 per year vs 2-3 per year at Metro); That said, Metro is a very-tight knit group of residents who are very much like a family (cheesy, I know, but true) << Thank you, good summary!!

Realizing I only applied to Metro as I thought the UH was DO only, oops!...anyone else? << Lolll same, thought it was DO

do you think it's worth emailing/explaining and submitting now? << No. I think it's too late.

UH does their interview invites by a point system. So you get points for different things (including class rank, honors, AOA/SSP, publications, what type of journal it was, what number author you were). This is their easy way of creating the points for us. << that sounds terrible
