What applicants said about Univ of Chicago Med Ctr-IL in the 2020 cycle

There was mention of kindness from an Indian dude from UChicago, Asian dude from Yale and a cosmetics? guy from Penn

<where did these people match?

I think UChicago and Yale guys are at Harvard

"Ayy P, they want me to tell 'em what animal I would be if I could be one." x2<<who is P, am i reading this wrong lol

it's a meme about Carmelo Anthony (NBA player, former superstar now old and washed).

<I also think people aren't going to give you a ton of details that they themselves didn't have the benefit of having when going into interviews for spots we are all competing for <yep<<i mean its not like im asking for the exact interview questions, im just more curious to hear about overall interview styles. rapid spitfire behavioral is much more different than just one behavioral question in each room.

same issue

in my experience last year, it was usually just 1 or 2 random behavioral question <thank you!! :)

< IDK for these specific programs, but I have heard of both happening,so just be ready for anything

The day is red

red wedding 2.0<< weaaak<< wait lmao someone said the rain dance back fired OMG TODAY IS STRAIGHT UP THE DERMATOLOGY RED WEDDING

Northwestern is the best in Chicago x2

what about the others?

iono, the only other program I've heard of is UChicago, and that's because of its college, not the derm program << I think UChicago is only held up by its undergrad name, the derm program is not that great, no where near NW. Loyola is actually pretty good just location isn't amazing. IDK too much about rush, uic, and cook though

there is a giant gap between NW and UChicago in terms of department strength, reputation, and most of all, research x 2

anyone know which airport is best to fly in for U Chicago? It appears the main campus is further south closer to midway but there's apparently a downtown campus too maybe closer to O'Hare, not sure where the interviews are held. Forgive my ignorance of Chicago geography.

<Would recommend flying into Midway x1

Thanks!

email or ERAS?

This isn't fun anymore!! <--was it ever fun? x2 I'm literally not even phased by rejections at this point, every email I get I just assume it's another place i cross off my list x3...

<< In limbo here... x8

what are your stats? WHAT?!?!??!?! That's crazy, you need to elaborate

240+ on step, research, case reports, home program hasn’t sent out invites yet. No real ties anywhere. << did you do away rotations? i mean, i got >250, AOA and only have internal and away rotations. Everyone is so well qualified :/

Was losing hope too but got my first interview today at UChicago. No ties. But also rejection from a TY today. Process is random hang in there

I have 0 interviews without ties... ie nothing besides where i rotated and my home institution. Worried I won't get any more and also not sure what I did wrong.

< damn today is party day << Party or Massacre? <massacre T.T x7 <rotator? internal? regional ties?< none

Congrats! x2 << individual eras message or group?<ERAS message

>> do we know??

Jefferson sent out inviites yesterday (aka Sidney Kimmel) <- Thanks for update! Fixing

I WANT A UCLA INTERVIEW SO BAD

< but actually what is going on with these programs. interviews are coming up fast

the gray box always brings the anxiety lol << green and red for me x3

lol, why red? If you didn't get a rejection yourself, that's good! << that's the cue for me to check and its typically correct lol x2

< You know, there is the entirety of the West Coast to consider. We're still in business hours << I don't think it's updated to say we're done, just a running tally (the same row is moved up) << just updated it << 10+ person, can you please press CTRL+Z to not erase the field that was there or use the function to get the past entry back << Thank you for reverting it back to original
