What applicants said about U Alabama Med Ctr-Birmingham in the 2026 cycle

I think cornell is like the only one

Cornell does not match every research fellow

is there a list somewhere?

I don't think anything or anyone can guarantee you a match

pretty much none? imo if an institution matches back a good amount of their RY students I would take that as a positive

larkin palm springs research year with Dr. Skopit guarantees match

i know a cornell fellow who didnt match anywhere

Tulane and UAB are guaranteed

cornell does not match their own fellows very often

larkin south miami research year with Dr. Skopit guarantees match

Cornell does not match every research fellow this is absolutely false about cornell, they are not loyal> larkin south miami research year with Dr. Skopit guarantees match

The Maryland RY seems pretty guaranteed as well, not back to Maryland per say but just derm

MUSC

cornell does not match their own fellows very often>> Larkin South Miami home of the pay2play derm position has an unpaid RY which they will guarantee your acceptance the following year in their wonderful program

MUSC, Vanderbilt , UAMS, UAB, NW, Harvard, MCW, henry ford> Geisinger

OHSU

When a program says they have "academic half days", does this just refer to study time or lectures

"academic half days" are study time. "didactics" are lectures

prob none for sure, maybe sinai bc their match is all RY fellows (still competitive, but you're competing against less people i suppose tbh)

heard uab/tulane have good match rate for their fellows. ultimately it's going to depend on your relationship with your mentor!

I still haven't heard anything and I emailed them over 2 weeks ago now and nothing

its filled?

idk that's what I'm asking

did anyone get the Tulane research position?

they don't interview most rotators

have they released offers yet?

no

no

I think UAB and MUSC, SLU, Duke, Sinai

for 2025 or 2026?

2026 i think> Duke, uab and SLU are still choosing I'm pretty sure….idk about MUSC and Sinai ? SLU chose their fellow for 2026

Tulane

> Tulane is only for those who interviewed there

duke, UAB, SLU, sinai, Emory, melanoma fellowship, penn

i don't agree Emory

also i wouldn't say any of these are guaranteed. it should be *highly increases* your chances of matching

also i would directly talk to the research fellows that are coming from these RYs. If the mentors are saying one thing, and RY fellows that matched are saying another about their experiences, I'd be wary. Don't forget that many applicants have home programs and other sources of networking/support that could have contributed in very meaningful positive ways.

also if mentors don't offer to connect you with past research fellows who have matched i'd take that as a red flag
