UC San Francisco-CA

very jealous of people asking about Stanford and UCSF. I really wanted those two! Goodluck! < take mine

Did anyone get the email from UCSF? < The one with the itinerary?

Do you think top programs (T5-T0) are going to take mostly home students or outside students this year? I think there's data out there showing that more people last year matched at home programs with virtual interviewing but not sure what people are predicting this year. aka wondering if i have a chance or not if i see a ton of internals on my interview day lol // It's always been the case that your best chance of matching is at your home derm program.< well if you did away rotation, you would have better chance < Even with an away rotation that's not necessarily true. See all the people who do audition electives at NYU or UCSF. < not op but what if you didn't get invited to your home program but got a bunch of interviews elsewhere lmao < I would like to point out that NYU and UCSF take a majority of non-home students. < NYU & UCSF take a lot of people who have never rotated there before as an audition elective. Same with Penn.

Can we get a T10 tab going? The T10 interviews are picking up now. < yassss < we are not having a separate sheet for T10s.< Ok. Don't get salty and get HTN with all the incoming NYU, Stanford, UCSF, Penn, Harvard etc discussions < there have already been discussions about Harvard and Penn and no one got salty, stop projecting< trying to keep the main chat more inclusive; I imagine it can't be fun for people who didn't get II from their dream programs to be reading about the privileged few who collected them like Thanos collected the infinity stones <well such is life and we need to stop glorifying these programs anyway. a derm program is a derm program.

Which programs are known to treat their residents as work horses in terms of call, poor benefits, etc.? << Many of the top tier academic Derm programs in terms of hours, which isn't surprising. You have 3 years to try to learn as much Dermatology as you can, and you learn best with high volume and repeated exposure as a resident until you're finally out on your own as a full-fledged attending. There's a reason places like Harvard, NYU, UCSF, Penn, UTSW, U Miami, etc. have really well-trained residents which sets them up well for fellowship programs, if they decide to do one. < there are alot of solid mid tier programs that do the same without the malignancy. we need to stop making excuses for these top places

Any thoughts on Harvard v Penn v NYU v Yale? And then UCSF v Stanford, and how to weigh these two west coast programs vs Northeast? Anything other than geographic preference that one should think about?< It comes down to autonomy and ancillary support. Some of these programs give more than others. Some lack things the other have. No program is 100% complete, it just needs to check the most boxes on your list.

any UCSF that would be willing to switch 1/19 for 1/12? see swap

OMG my first waitlist lollll not sure how I felt x7! Omg waitlisted at Mayo, why does that feel kinda good even though I know I will never get off that waitlist lol < well, I suppose it is easier than getting it from UCSF < looks like half the people were waitlisted, half rejected. Not sure htat make me feel better about the odds

hopkins interviews 45 for 7 spots? good odds then huh? < relatively, yeah, and at a super strong program too! Not like UCSF's odds though (~20 for 6-8) < How do we know how many Hopkins is interviewing? Also UCSF interviews 26 for clinical spots, and then another 10 for research < RE says hopkins interviews 60+ < their website says 45< you guys make up so much data. UCSF's website legitametly says 22-24 clinical track interviews and 8-10 physician scientist interviews so 34 max

How many internals did Harvard/Penn/UCSF invite to interview? < lol < penn interviews all internals, so ~10. I think UCSF also interviews all internals

How many people do each of the top schools interview? Harvard - 44 overall UCSF - 26 clinical, 8-10 research Stanford - 44 overall Yale - 48 overall Penn - ?? overall NYU - 46 overall

did anyone else not hear anything from ucsf today? wonder what this means

Did anyone else think they were a UCSF trickle earlier today?? Cuz I did! < how many people are on the waitlist? << what makes u think there was a trickle? < people got a small secound round of waitlist spots< i can't imagine anyone would be dumb enough to drop a UCSF interview.

hoping ucsf magically adds IV spots so i can get off the waitlist < sameeeee so hard

hey guys, what are the ucsf interview times? Trying to plan for if I get off the waitlist (as if anyone declines UCSF lol) < Jan 12, 19 but I think everyone confirmed < I was wondering if they gave you the times? The dates conflict with NW and UC Davis < it's basically all day PST
