U Texas Med Sch-Houston

toxic program from previosu sheets and second hand knowledge

I feel like knowing where to do your audition rotations is so critical to matching but if you're outside of the state, you only know if you have inside information on how the actual residency program runs, which it seems like only home med students know.

I feel like knowing where to do your audition rotations is so critical to matching but if you're outside of the state, you only know if you have inside information on how the actual residency program runs, which it seems like only home med students know. But I feel like only certain types of students can rotate at places like Penn, Harvard, UCSF, etc. and have a reasonable chance of getting an interview. For most of us, it's a waste.

the cliquiness is sooo true. I felt put off at the social event because the residents would specifically interact and be super friendly with all the rotaters/internal students they knew, and no one knew me in the zoom call

1 spot for McGovern, 2 for UTSW

how many interview spots and days did mcgovern have

The part about UT Houston only interviewing aways needs to be fixed on the Away Tab, also someone put that Texas Tech was only interviewing away rotators and this is also not true

<<

POOP

the last sentence of that omg lol

I appreciate the admitting that it's impossible to match anymore lol

yeah truly appreciated it

can someone share with the class

spilll what did they say

POOP

"If is any consolation, I can tell you that I probably would not have even selected myself for an interview if I were to have applied today. Best wishes for the future." - why does that sound like what the derm chair would say, iykyk

hahahaha oh Ron

they send the same copy and paste rejection every year

ugh I hate when this is said… people said it about med school apps too and it comes across as "wow I had it way easier than you, that sucks for you… anyways enjoy suffering 🤗"

I honestly think that it will be more beneficial for you to extend a year and do another degree like MPH or MBA, because realistically, in the time you're reapplying, they're going to wonder what changes you made to your initial application (obviously that is cost inefficient and not feasible for many people so take with a grain of salt)

> OP here, I ended up doing 2 aways (no home program) and only ended up with interviews at those two programs (one being UConn lol) so that's why I was considering extending graduation to do several more aways hoping they will turn into interviews if I don't match but yeah I'm concerned that it's a big risk to take since there's no guarantee I'll get 5-6 more aways as that's also a competitive process

UConn is really ruining ppl with these courtesy interviews

POOP

where was your other away? If that program has a decent class size maybe you would be okay, all you need is 1 and do you have any strong connections to either aways

the other program has 7 spots so it's a bigger program, honestly not sure if I have a "strong relationship" with either program but I have worked with ppl at both institutions

7 spots is huge but I guess it depends how many internals that program has

the program is interviewing 70+ ppl and has a ton of rotators so idk ig we will see what happens but yeah that's why I am thinking of a backup plan

Is this UT Houston?

ikr basically it's the same as having no interview - hearing all the UConn tea and lore doesn't make me feel any better

I guess the "bad year to apply" has to have some truth to it. Rip one away

any word?> Its open now!!

has anybody been able to sign up for VCU?

no

did someone say they got a UT Houston II?

yes

oh, was it today?

yes around 4 pm CST

I don't see it here, was it posted on this doc?

lol people might be shy to report it but a friend gave me the intel. Who knows it could be rolling invites so just keeping an open mind,. >the II was sent for home students for 12/12. I think they're still releasing others on 12/1

I thought they do for MD RY fellowships?

UTHouston does

which PI at UT Houston?

Dr. Adelaide A. Hebert

Dell in Texas has matched their fellow every year for the past several years

Hebert doesn't know if she will have one and Dell lost funding for this upcoming year for their RY> UH case

northwell Garg it looks like

UH CASE DOES NOT GUARANTEE (HORRIBLE REP OF NOT MATCHING FELLOW PRE DOC AND POST DOC)

Neither are good tbh but pick Houston. Howard's pay is horrendous.

I disagree. Howard residents are wonderful and while DC is expensive, look at the happiness of the residents too. Clearly they're happy and that says a lot despite lower pay

Howard is that you>howard does aways???

I know of one person atleast
