I actually think the rank list thing is coming along nicely... Though it is shocking how badly UTSW is ranked by a lot of people, despite the incredible reputation and a city that is lively

Hey I matched in Derm and have a bunch of friends who did - feel free to ask us anything!
What color pom poms did you use on your rotation princess?

ask for advice on the real SDN site where there are plenty of known attendings and private practice folks donating their valuable time to help you

I know this will be shocking to applicants, but people who've recently matched or are current derm residents do come back to help people in future match cycles. This happened last year on the spreadsheet and their advice was invaluable esp. on the WWYD posts in which you're comparing several programs

I'm not the OP, but I'm the one who did start out the WWYD with the UTSW vs Miami post =) and I'm glad to give honest advice either here, or on SDN!

| Thank you so much for asking that question last year -- it was sort of the match that set the whole flame on the WWYD posts and the answers we got were so helpful (probably more helpful than the spreadsheet had been up until that point). Hope intern year is treating you well. |

Looks like UT Health San Antonio sent out invites today. Guessing from their resident roster (6/8 current residents from Texas schools) that they went to Texas applicants
can we get some confirmation on that, i.e are the people getting interviews in TX?
Mar 23
0
Might be easier to ask the opposite. Any non-TX people getting interviews?

They sent out interview offers. One of my classmates got offered one today. Texas student here

My guess is these are internal interviews.

They are not. My friend doesn't go to UTHSCSA

I am not from Texas and so did not apply there especially that all their residents are from UT San antonio, so apparently they only take their students. Saved me 28$! x4
Mar 23

if theyre going to take their own students every year, they should have the decency to pull out of the match instead of wasting our money and time x2

TX and CA are known for incest
Mar 23

love the term incest! haha although big programs in CA do take outsiders and are not always consanguinous. The small programs are the ones who commit incest

UTSW is probably the only exception but people from that state tend to want to stay in that state. It's not necessarily on purpose by the program, so they're not wasting your time if you interview there.

Wow, more different Derm programs interviewing in November this year vs. in past years: UTSW, Northwestern, Henry Ford, Indiana.| how do you know when they are interviewing ?
Many programs list their interview dates on their website, or internal applicants may have this information through their department

Can someone update the intv tab with invite updates from yesterday and today? UTSW released 2 yesterday I think that was the only legit one haha and WVU
Any UTSW invites today?

No invites or rejections on my end. Anyone know if Iowa sent rejection yesterday? Was difficult to tell if people were trolling

Did UTSW send out 2 invites? I think i remember seeing someone post that before troll took over, but its not updated on the interview tab?
Someone else commented in the above poll: "If you make people sign in there is no point in this spreadsheet since no useful information will be shared, plus the the spreadsheet wont allow more users to edit" -- My thought is that is why we should switch to "users with link can comment" while having multiple moderators that can prevent trolls from taking hold or prevent people from deleting others' comments, yet it will allow the flexibility for people who do not want to log in to comment anonymously. Thoughts? Feel free to click the "show chat" in upper right hand corner and let us know what you think about this in the chat box.

Have any new invites come out since we lost control of this spreadsheet a couple of days ago?
I think so yes. West virginia University and UTSW are the two I know of, not sure of any other though? I put some question marks under UTSW in the interviews tab so if you know any more info please comment there

Associated with Texas at all? I feel like texas is kinda its own country, isnt it hard to get love unless you have ties? Kinda like california?
Mar 23
0
No ties or affiliations so I'm pretty surprised myself. From the current residents it seems like they might have less of a regional bias compared to the other TX schools though

Are all interviews 2-day interviews or just the 2 + 2 track?
Mar 23
0
All of them, in the email the 3-year interviews say that sessions start at 11:00am on the first day and last no later than 2:00pm on the second day

well they sent out that rejection literally 30 seconds before ERAS shut down, so I am sure there is more to come either Sunday or Monday

ERAS is now open. If I were you, I would go check my messages and invites sections just in case. Who knows what happened over the weekend!
thanks for the reminder - sadly just came back to see my UTSW rejection again haha

still nothing from UTSW, is that weird?
Mar 23

Maybe you're on a silent wait list for an invite!
Mar 23
0
I feel like maybe they are reviewing apps in chunks and have not gotten to some chunks yet, so you are maybe still in the running for an interview! But who knows haha

Hey, I hate to put this in the chit chat BUT i assume the only people looking at the interview swap are people who actually need to switch dates lol so if anyone has UTSW for Dec 8-9 and can switch to the Dec 7-8 spot, please look at the interview swap tab and contact me. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Naw, just, naw

Just got an interview from UTSW after being waitlisted! Thank you to whomever cancelled an interview!
Hey congrats! Did you happen to get the 8th to 9th slot ? if so are you willing to switch with the 7th/8th slot?
Mar 23
0
oops sorry i accidentally resonved two comments and now i cant find them. It was basically someone being like oh you should pay me if you want to switch and the other person was like oh but they just got it today, I was hoping not to have to pay. Sry :(
Mar 23
0
So I'm the person who got off the waitlist and it is only for the 8-9th date. I also already bought ticket and got my hotel room, so not in the position to switch. I don't know who asked for payment, but it wasn't me. Sorry
Mar 23
0
I was the one who wrote about payment, I was just suggesting that the person looking for a swap would have better odds if he/she offered to reimburse costs for the person switching.
Mar 23

I will pay you $1,000 to switch with me

UTSW is a top 10 derm program.... and you only offer $1000? Dont take it OP.

why is UTSW a two-day interview? Is the first day a social and thus optional?

Both days are interview days
