UC Davis Med Ctr-CA

Anyone want to switch UC Davis DermPath rotation for 7/27-8/7? message me 714-392-2986

UC Davis!

why?> More protected time/chill than others, more personalized mentorship, less commuting between sites

don't listen to this wild advice 😂😂😂 southern Cali >>>>>> Sacramento

lol yeah this is an odd take unless you have fam/connections out in sacramento.

this is 100% someone trying to get you to rank the LA programs lower lmao. UC davis def does not have more 'protected time' and does have quite a bit commuting between sites?

yea Davis and Sac sucks ass

nope

I think there's like a very brief hello at the beginning!

do you have a specific link for a general welcome room in your schedule? all im seeing is the first interviewer room

Were we ever sent a link for the opening session and resident room for interview day?

not that i've seen in my email or on thalamus

I had a "Welcome" for 15 mins on my thalamus before 1st interview

okay ty, i dont see that on mine so i'll email PC

v chill!

sweeet

there def will be some - probably similar to last year maybe a few more

can we start listing them in the cell beside pls

should we make an interveiw detials tab????????

Anyone know when Mississippi is releasing?

Confirmed virtual : UC Davis, UCLA-harbor, UCSD, Penn State

Feel like it depends on all of the other factors of your application (Step score, mentors/letters, med school prestige, etc.) ofc having all honors and lots of research would be better than either so it's hard to compare those scenarios without looking at everything else

>the neurotic 270+ step 2, all honors, 20+ research derm applicant is few and far between. Believe in yourself - not all applicants are perfect. theyre average :). Aim for as many honors as you feasibly can, handful of pubs, show people you're likeable. that'll take you farther than grades and research at the end of the day

connections

does med school prestige really matter if youre not planning on going to a t10 derm program? (in terms of MD applicants)

i'd rather have a well balanced app w some honors and some pubs, than all honors 0 pubs but thats me

med school prestige is factored more for certain programs (defintely lower on the list in terms of factors assessed), agree about having a more well-rounded app

personality and fit is huge

is a 270+ strong research applicant really few and far between lol it seems like this is not uncommon?

I've heard of quite a few people with these stats, I think it's also important to consider mentors and who you know since that can influence one's chances of matching

agreed, and connections from away rotations make a huge difference in terms of "networking" as well. the loudest ones are the ones that have the best stats, but dont get into your head about it! > more good thoughts like this please, maybe we're all just delusional

also want to say, I feel on reddit and these spreadsheets, we tend to see people on the extremes in terms of stats and research while the "average" students who match tend to not put a bunch of stuff here making it seem like applicants are extraordinary

scores in 95% of cases, excluding the "top" programs which virtue signal about evaluating applicants holistically (looking at u UCSF). It's hilarious how they say they don't have cutoffs for board scores, but they magically end up matching residents with only the most insane stats >how do you know this info? They don't release stats publically, and UCSF seems to match many students who dont come from T5 programs.

Current R3/R4s come from: UCSD, UC Davis, UMich, UCSF, Hopkins, Emory, UCSF, Vandy, Northwestern, UCSF, Hopkins, UCSF, Penn. Idk seems pretty high ranking for programs (excluding the California bias)

You can also see what they tell their own students about required stats for matching (https://meded.ucsf.edu/student-services/specialty-information-and-advising#Dermatology), for example in their table "How important is each the following for admission to a competitive program?", where honors, AOA, and research are highly recommended

my friend got an email from them saying they're full

lmfao @ wakeforest

did not know WF was such a golden program

im still not over the wake forest rejection >:( yeah i'm pretty sure markdown syntax doesn't render properly in google sheets. ugh not more gpt jokes , oh no chatgpt is back in the chat 🙄 >> There is zero vibes in Miami , a bunch of ego inflated attendings and weirdo residents that do not fit the extroverted / Miami energy of the city whatsoever.

do the residents at davis have hobbies?? lol and i do agree with the mohs factory being mayo

hated every second of reading this
