U Rochester/Strong Memorial-NY

i will give u perspective as someone who strongly considered mayo for med school - it is small-knit community and if you want to stay in mayo system, it will be easier to find job (MN/FL/AZ)

did you interview?? lol it would be apparent if you did

your own ma, best travel fund for research, graduated autonomy (like actually), culture is actually wonderful, ai scribe, digital path, all fellowships and they support their own

is this for all mayo programs or just for mayo rochester

my b. Mostly Rochester only I believe

Jacksonville also has the financial conference benefits, and a super nice hospital

AZ does also, all three sites have the same salary/benefits

didn't have rochester but are you saying it was awkward because of the questions or the responses?

questions

i agree 100%

Yes they were all very nice and happy! Just thought the approach to questions was a bit unusual/offputting

honestly thought Rochester was a very nice interview. Very sweet genuine people who seemed very happy in their program. Didn't know a ton about them coming in and I loved the interview

6-7

yes i got one

this year??

they are memeing. Mayo doesn't do this lmfao

not memeing. I got a call. I also did an away which might place me in a different category

damn bro is the flex worth doxxing yourself to the potential mayo lurkers

which location

is this person trolling >yes

Rochester said they will not be reaching out to anyone, so highly doubt its Rochester if this person is even being truthful

can also say pretty confidently its not AZ

You are more likely to die in Baltimore than Rochester? Baltimore is butt cheeks so I'd prefer Rochester (I'm for SoCal too)

I spent a summer in Rochester and its a very small, tight knit city. not much to do but it feels pretty safe

Rochester is great for raising a family, good Suburbs, cute downtown, safe, and mayo is a literal gorgeous Cush hospital all connected by skyways and subways so you don't have to walk in the cold to get around most times (they didn't interview me but 100/100 times I'd pick roch and mayo over Baltimore/hopkins no comparison)

wait how likely to die and where like i feel like i'm a poor judge of the safety of baltimore. it's near the bottom of my RL right now antyway

you're not going to die in baltimore it's not that bad, but robberies happen and you need to be vigilant walking around

some of you guys never lived in a city and it shows lmfao. all cities have safe and not safe part of the city. same for baltimore

The level of unsafeness in Baltimore is wildly exaggerated by people who have never lived there. The best thing about Rochester is that Minneapolis is 2hrs away.

on a similar note: what's the best program in a major city?

Harvard or Penn (if you consider Boston and Philly decent sized cities)

NYC Power Rankings: Mount Sinai

I'd say it goes: NYU

Really?? What makes montefiore above Sinai /columbia?

NYU

Columbia = NYU

Cornell

Albert Einstein

Rochester

SUNY Downstate = Stony Brook

Northwell

NYMC

St. John's Episcopal

St. Barnabas

Montefiore = SUNY Downstate

Sinai = Columbia = Cornell

NYMC. (Rochester and Stony Brook are not NYC, and idk anything about St John's/St. Barnabas)

Sinai >= Columbia = Cornell

I have done several interviews...mayos questions easily the most difficult

lol not what i hoped to see before next week>questions could be tough but everyone was super kind

was it all standardized, behavioral or a mix?

what kind of Qs >were they any research questions?

Which mayo?

POOP

no

for mayo mn, did they ask about your research?

I think Mayo (Rochester)

They do not interview all aways but few schools do tbh

POOP

Iowa, Mayo Rochester, Wisconsin (the best ones for Mohs and surgical and procedural training in general)

some of the best Mohs faculty in the country are at these programs and they have historically consistently high match rates and support

Top programs definitely support mohs fellowship as most of the people who get into mohs go to a relatively top program

i've heard for example programs like stanford, emory, and duke aren't supportive based on the name and shame/why I didn't rank higher so was curious if there programs known to be supportive

some of those you just listed aren't necessarily top derm programs, Emory is in the t15 and Stanford is consistently t5-t10 but Duke isn't t15 but more to your point Duke doesn't have a Mohs fellowship and notoriously some of these programs are more about complex med derm and have picky Mohs teaching faculty
