Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
4 entries❌1. Elitist (to no one's surprise), and many faculty give preferential treatment to rotating medical students from more prestigious schools. As much as they emphasize being socially attuned and progressive, at the end of the day, they're just another ivory tower institution masquerading as a social justice warrior.
❌1. You don't actually HAVE to be a former pediatrician to apply for this and be considered. Wish I knew this earlier, I would have applied.
❌2. Interviewer made disparaging comments about where I went to school
💬1. It does say on their website "preferred but not required;" I wonder if they've taken applicants w/o previous peds residency. > guess we will find out soon > this is the first year of the track and it seemed like everybody was an MS4 during the interview +1

How far do top programs typically have to go down the rank list? I always feel that people that got invited to harvard will get invited to penn, NYU, Stanford, UCSF, Sinai, NW, Mayo. Can they go all the way to number 30-40 on their rank list because all of the applicants end up being spread out? Unless every applicant that those programs rank to match ranks their respective programs (unlikely) number one, they should go down pretty far.
