U Florida COM-Shands Hosp

I have 10/26 UF away offer, would like to switch with you

Also willing to swap you (I have 9/28-10/25) if it works better for you!

Message me 575-202-8261

not OP but you could expand on why? UConn has better Mohs matches (UCLA, UF, etc.) although not sure if this is because there is more Mohs interest over there... interested to hear your thoughts

Mohs matches are not indicative of how good a program is. There are also people from UConn in prior years who went unmatched in Mohs

family? where are you from originally? priorities? vibes at tge two programs are very different

from the west coast (most family from there), both programs have mohs fellowship now, honestly just looking for good training and want to be a solid derm, may want to pursue mohs in the future - could you expand on vibes at the places and which you would rank higher?

As an away rotator at UConn, I can say that Dr. Feng (Mohs) had said he prefers to take people NOT from UConn internally as it's better to have more variety in trains of thought or w/e. Not sure if that will sway you. Otherwise, Wayne has more SOC, community family vibes between residents and faculty. UConn is semi-similar but there is an air of heirarchy there especially as an rotator...

Wayne state has also not historically taken their own for Mohs...

wayne state for diversity of training

POOP

depends some places like UF and Emory that interview all their rotators have a good chance of matching there because they are very selective on who they pick and they have a good track record of matching rotators, also they don't have too many rotators - Conversely, programs like UConn who have a ton of rotators and interview all of them, you don't really know if you have a good shot, also based on tea on this spreadsheet there's nepotism rumors, research fellows, etc. so your chances at a program like that may be lower and can give applicants false hope

anyone know about upmc?

UF interviews most of their rotators but also interviews a significant amount of non-rotators, plus away/gold seem to weigh less post-interview there. Certainly better than a lot of other programs but there are programs that only interview internals and more heavily weigh away/gold/etc post-interview as well. ^ It's the best when a program is very selective with away rotators and then interviews them all because it means you already have a high shot at being ranked. Places that take a ton of rotators and intreview all as a courtesy = waste of time for everyone and waste of hope.

what counts as a high number of away rotators? 20+? 30+?

some programs take 6 aways per month so do with that what you will

great bc they give you an interview! Not great if it doesn't correlate with true shot at a decent place on the rank list. But there's no true way to know and we will never know how the pie is made as applicants so whatever

. on OP's question, what programs interview all rotators?

where do we find number of away rotators a prgram takes per year?

Reapplicant here, from what ive seen from my away rotations and who they matched: my experience, they definitely take at least 1 away rotator depending on number of spots the program has. If they have internals + away rotators with better stats or from better schools with decent personalities, might not go your way. if you are one of those rotators with great stats and they don't have too many internals then you're in a great place to possibly match there

also depends on how the internals rank them - can't assume that all of the internals actually want to go there

Harbor-

not true. would say it's more accurate to say that all applicants interviewed will have done an away rotation. similar to Kaiser LA

theres a sidebar on some of the VSLO apps that show how many they accept per month, and then from there you can roughly calculate

heard 10 plus their aways/homes. Should be 40. (30 away/home students + 10 non-away students)

I heard a little less than half of their interviews are non-internals (away/home), my vibe from speaking to UF ppl is that they don't really weigh signals after giving the interview but golds/aways/internals have a far higher likelihood of being interviewed fwiw

POOP

UF is like emory if you dont do an away the chances are vvvv low...> they offered me an away for a month I didnt apply to (but I couldnt go) so I had false hope

why would you expect an interview when you declined their away... IJBOL

Most of them interview rotators>emory>UF>tulane>Baylor Scott and White Temple

want to reiterate that it's getting harder to get these away rotations so you might not have a choice but check the schools that didnt II aways from this year and last year

Would add penn state and jefferson to this list but can't edit the cell for some reason

musc

thank you!

i believe wayne state also does

it's only 10 minutes long - interviewed there last year

ya mine was also <10 min last year < I did it today, super chill - they had read my app in a nice way! like asking about hobbies I listed.

Not on their website but I've heard cook county has a step cut off that's decently high (it's 260).

UF wants at least top 50%

Miami, Tulane> Tennessee

so for these programs, do you not need to signal them (gold or silver) if you do an away rotation there?

heard wake forest interviews them all!> not true for WF >LSU

FSU, MUSC, Arkansas, UF

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

UF is in the middle of nowhere vs. USF is in Tampa. in terms of program strength they're probably pretty on par.

I would say UF>USF. UF is big on dermpath and medical derm.

yes, just finished filling it out!

lmao

no but I've asked for letters

I already have 130 derm interviews, idk what you guys are doing

12-15 of us non-away/home students paid to travel and interview there in person last cycle and none matched there. Ngl was a complete waste of time and money lol. If you want to actually have a chance there do an away>Where is this?

this was originally in response to a post asking about UF chances as a non home student that got deleted

I think UF?

dont piss me off

USC
