What about Henry Ford, Emory, UNC, NW? Henry Ford PD actually felt the need to reassure us during the interview presentation that they get to see skin cancer at community clinics because the main hospital is so heavily just skin of color

<- WF faculty seems diverse, but their patient population is still pretty rural and not as diverse

yes, but Dr. McMichael has an interest in SOC so tailors her teaching/clinic to that. She gave a talk to our program a few years ago, hence the fangirling.

Anyone else waiting for that "3" UNC trickle? I'm waitlisted for UNC, but it's so late at this point, right? <Said up to a week prior to their interview day (Dec 6th), so I would assume not. That's so last minute, and most of the people have solidified their interview schedules during that time.
I'm waiting for the Mayo Rochester trickle post-Thanksgiving because (1) lots of people won't be able to make it during the days with lot of overlap and (2) the applicants are required to submit their interview dates by today

ehh year after year they recruit 3 off the waitlist. Trust the process haha! No biggie just venting

Wake forest rejection (Finally) x4
the gift that keeps giving << why are you so excited you got the rejection? <<< Nice to finally have closure since they have had so many cycles of invites and rejects

Very nice rejection letter, not the best communication method since your heart is beating 200bpm and you have to open up a completely neutral sounding email to view the rejection letter. Literally no idea of rejection or invite until you download the PDF x2< yea ridiculous that you have to go into eras to open an attachment for a freaking rejection

<so even new programs like st lukes fully matched but not tufts or colorado? wth
I bet the new programs interview a ton of people to ensure they don't go unmatched. Like maybe 20:1 vs normally programs are 10:1. CU only had like 4?:1
Mar 23
0
feel like that still doesn't make sense tho right? like UNC interviews 5:1 and I think of them similarly to colorado. just a strange ass situation << Sometimes programs overshoot and interview all 260+ AOA from top 10 schools who all end up at Harvard or UCSF. That's probably what happened to DEnver
Mar 23

yeah also if they did only interview 19 people and have 6 spots then they're closer to 3:1
Mar 23
0
wow 3:1!? that's.... not a smart move.

this situation is just super unlucky and unfortunate because it confirms a program's worst fear and will discourage programs next year from saving everyone time and money by interviewing fewer applicants/spot
Mar 23

it was an insanely low number of interviews... do 1:5 if you are so confident (which a lot of the ivy leagues do), not 1:3. that's literally idiotic << Not even the top 5 could get away with a 1:3 ratio... Agreed 1:5 is the lowest even the best programs should drop to

St. Lukes Interviewed 120 people for 2 spots, It was impossible for them not to match
Mar 23
0
LOL WHAT << They thought they would get approved for 4 spots, so they did 120 which is 30:1, then a month ago they sent an email saying "sike" we just have 2 spots <- interviewed there and got such bad vibes from the program. DNR. <- just curious what your bad vibes were, as I also interviewed there but didn't see any red flags except for them being brand new

From Charting the Match data from NMRP (http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Charting-Outcomes-in-the-Match-2018-Seniors.pdf), Last year there was 412 allopathic US seniors. UNC had 597 apps. While not all of those will be allopaths, it will probably be a decently competitive year

From reading the websites, it seems that Wake, UNC, etc match people from within or from similar tier med schools. Does this apply to interview invites as well or do schools invite the top applicants in terms of scores/research/rec letters regardless of likelihood that the students would rank them?
0
has the UNC waitlist moved at all?
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
