Very good training, lots of experts in the field of hair, oncodermatology, bullous disorders, rheum derm, CTCL, etc

Seemed like a very strong program. Downside is the driving and parking and cost of living of course in Cali. But program and experience wise seemed excellent

any insight on why everyone says it's the worst program in Cali though?

?definitely have not heard this as a CA applicant

UCI's program highkey underrated

look at the x vs y though... what's the tea

honestly might be the best program in socal

An important thing to consider: do you like the vibes at the other interviews? some programs may surprise you so I think keeping an open mind during this time is impt! congrats on the interviews :) > hi! I am also insanely jealous of your II number!! that's crazy!! I'm struggling with the same thing. I personally want to stay at my home program even if I got interviews at other more highly ranked places and other places in different cities. Now I'm thinking about the joys of exploring a different place too. It's hard. Not an answer but I think residency is so personal and it's a difficult time that support matters as much as exploration and vice versa. You can't go wrong either way:) Maybe visit the places that are at the top of your list if you have time! and yes I think reflection is truly going to be important for both of us! No choice is the wrong choice and if it makes you feel better I think you'll be happy either way (so much of being happy is on the inside anyways). What would you be happier to write on your poster on match day?

POOP

ugh what are chances of getting off waitlist

very tough for virtual. If on waitlist for in-person much more likely

Can someone confirm if al the interview slots are full on thalamus?

1/7 full, 1 slot left for 1/9

thank you!

:'(

no one has filled out the sheet and there are definitely more invites than that

someone just put 9:06 PST on the sheet

UCI is now out, definitely a troll earlier>Also scheduling is live for UCI

I got BU on thalamus

same

why do people ask if it's thalamus? how is that helpful?> My guess is because thalamus is more likely to be a mass send, whereas an email perhaps gives the possibility of receiving later in the day

thalamus emails are auto-sent and usually one and done. PC emails are typically rolling

like emory, people got it over the span of 45 mins to an hour

so UCI all out? :(

seems a bit early for irvine?

don't think UCI actually released yet, no one is filling out the Interview Offers tab

I see 2 there now :(

i'm skeptical

is it possible that they are internals?

i hope

12/1

thanks!

In general, send 4 if you have 4. Most places that say 3, will still take 4. No where actually requires a chair letter (that I've seen). - our dean said to trust the websites over residency explorer

how many letters are yall sending to UCLA, UCD, UCI? Residency explorer says 3, but i know friends that sent 4 last year

this is literally not good advice lol

u can send 3-4.
