Sentiment score: 5.8 / 10
Applicants discuss UAMS/Arkansas as a moderately competitive program with practical interview logistics questions (virtual format, timing, interview length). There is notable discussion about ranking anomalies and potential data manipulation on rank tally sheets, with some applicants characterizing it as a 'chill' program and others questioning its appeal. The program appears to generate mixed interest, with some viewing it as underrated while others express skepticism about inflated ranking claims.
Can we create a list of programs that have early morning didactics (like 6:30 or 7am start time) before clinic?
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
I just want to say its crazy theat the rank tally for UAMS is 2 when it was literally FIFTEEN on the old sheet. hello?
Its all wrong man, both sheets.
the new sheet has mechanisms in place to prevent people from changing other people's values and mass adding tallies to inflate. The new one is objectively more accurate.
honestly prolly no point in doing those rank sheets anyways bc people are going to rank how they want, be dishonest to try and sway other people (which doesnt work) and it doesnt go to serve anyone this year or in future years
Struggling w rank list bc I loved my away but interview day vibes were mid and half of them seemed to not remember me so it's making me want to rank them lower
would we consider it a bad sign if residents/attendings from an away don't remember us
location is everything
> lol was this michigan?
was thinking the same thing lol> Must be Michigan!>No, its UAMS!
i mean put it where you want and if it works out it works out if not you go somewhere lower on the list?
was thinking the same thing lol> Must be Michigan!>No, its UAMS!
why is the new tally sheet not getting filled?
my rank list is changing at least once. A week
lol same, know my #1 but after that I keep changing
keep in mind the new tally sheet prevents mass entries so it's likely the original sheet had inflation.
because I dont want to log into my gmail in order to submit the survey, i dont trust anything right now
too paranoid someone even an applicant will know my name and rank list, this shit is personal
People, please please rank UAMS as your #1!!!!!
lol and someone was def spamming U of CO
take out the gmail requirment !!!
lol and someone was def spamming U of CO
FYI I have access to see the submissions to the rank tally list. I will be deleting whoever is spamming entries for Arkansas and Coloradoand will go back to requiring gmail sign on it if you dont act with some maturity
thats crazy, i was wondering why the numbers just all changed, whats the benefit? everyone already basically knows their rank list
I have no idea but i suspect its bc they want to scare people out of ranking their desired programs highly? Idk< i feel like if you have an interview somewhere you know that youre 1 out of 30-60 people so why would an anoymous spreadsheet change that anyways people r crazy
insecurity and a mean spirit

So interesting to me that there wre SO many people ranking Arkansas #1 on the previous sheet, but now there are 0. Smells like someone putting in false values
trolls trolls trolls
Can less of you rank my number 1 as number 1? Thank you!!< sure which is it<yes < perfect! Arkansas, UCSF, and UCSD! Thank you again!
what's happening in arkansas? they're the only non-"top" program to have double digit ranks for 1???
I feel like you REALLY need to take those tallys with a grain of salt due to a combination of fat fingers and people who are just assholes trying to deter people from ranking a program that don't fully understand the algo favors that applicant first
second taking it with a grain of salt, one program rank jumped by over 5 in less than 24 hours
which one, they lyingggg
yeehaw
Good Lord! How many of these 6 people, who ranked Arkansas as their #1, are liars?
It's my home?? You narrow minded af
everyone's like ohhh rank based on your priorities (family for some!)/where you would genuinely like best and then goes off like this, so odd. consider that there may be other perspectives? maybe? like good lord! what, are you all ranking T25s on your high horse and shitting on other peoples' choices?
5 out 6!
lol nope 6 out of 6
probably the same person as whoever claimed patients won't view penn as good training lmfao
lol nope 6 out of 6

Someone share the Arkansas secret, what's so great??
The governor of arkansas?
The governor of arkansas?
based on the rank tallies it's clear this spreadsheet skews towards high tier applicants. are 1/3 of the UCSF/HARVARD/Duke interviewees really on here?
I'm more curious about Arkansas> home??
yeah lots of us low/mid tier applicants try to avoid this spreadsheet as it makes us more stressed, the high tier applicants have tons of interviews and their stress is probably more about where they are matching while for some of us, we are stressed about matching at all!
we all are stressed about matching
we all are stressed about matching
Is Arkansas a slept on program? Curious after seeing the rank tally
I feel like that's an error
most certainly an error and not slept on
can we compile a list of places that are anticipated to release invites nov 3rd??
duke, penn, mcw, univ of arkansas, hopkins, UNC, OSU, UPMC
wait penn is 11/3???
also Baylor, Geisinger, Mayo, Cornell, Northwestern (?), Ohio State, Arkansas, UT San Antonio, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech
pretty sure penn is 12/1
isn't Yale traditionally 11/3?
per the spreadsheet, 11/17

Tea on which programs almost always interview their away rotators? (either on the away or invite them later on), I know so far Emory, UF...
Miami, Tulane> Tennessee
so for these programs, do you not need to signal them (gold or silver) if you do an away rotation there?
you'll have to ask them, ik programs also change from year to year, signals are still fairly new
you def still should silver signal your aways at the least unless specifically told otherwise, but in my experience they all still wanted a signal some aways wanted silver and told us to save gold for others
heard wake forest interviews them all!> not true for WF >LSU
FSU, MUSC, Arkansas, UF

Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
