With respect to the cell below, can you help me rank the best programs for cosmetics: NW, UW, UCSD, UM, Vanderbilt

#26052025–2026 DermFeb 21

Definitely not UW. I feel like programs with most cosmetic exposure (and demand) are in larger cities than Madison WI. I'd guess UCSD probably has a decent amount

Can someone provide insight regarding which program is "better": UW vs. OHSU? Both are the only real programs in the PNW. UW is larger but doesn't have Mohs. UW also has very little cosmetics

I'm glad we're applying at literally the worst possible time, even worse than COVID (I assume you all switched from med to grad school around then too)> looks like OHSU is not offering 2 this year either

Stanford vs UWa (QoL, I like both locations)< Stanford... < Seattle is more fun than Palo Alto < I mean just for the program (support, schedules, benefits, etc), not the location < Stanford is definitely the stronger program, however I liked the leadership at UW better < personally I've heard the residents at Stanford are very happy, and the UW residents gave mixed vibes <happy untill 2 months in and they're kicked out < this resident was prob a huge anomaly
