NRMP: 1900080A0
ACGME: 0803611066

Sentiment score: 3.2 / 10

Applicants discuss UNC's high application volume (571-597 applications) relative to limited interview spots (30-40 invites), resulting in widespread rejections and waitlist placements. The program is viewed as competitive and prestigious, with some appreciation for transparent communication, though many express frustration about the low acceptance rate and uncertainty around waitlist movement.

Any updates from the following peds prelims: UCSF Benioff, UNC, CHOP, Mt. Sinai?

#10122024-2025 DermMar 16

Got rejected from UNC Away... Is it still worth it to signal it when time to apply?

#1712024-2025 DermMar 16

Thoughts on UT Austin Dell med away vs UT Houston McGovern away? < Do Dell, program is better than McGovern < but does it have less spots and less likely to take outsiders / out of staters? < have you check ut houston match list yet? < I mean most programs in Texas will take their own besides UTSW basically. McGovern is all Texans besides one girl from UNC who did a research year at UTSW and then did an away at UT Houston < a student who rotated at McGovern said it was more because this person had a connection to a McGovern resident who had been a med student at UNC

#1242024-2025 DermMar 16

Any movmement on the UNC waitlist??

#3312022-2023 DermMar 21

#212022-2023 DermMar 21
