Vanderbilt Univ Med Ctr-TN

POOP

jeans nice sweater?

i would probably wear what I normally wear on a casual night like a dress with a sweater on top or something, i think anything that's casual and nice

what about for a dude

ah idk, i personally love those baggy abercrombie trousers/pants and a sweater w white sneakers on my bf for a clean and nice but comf look

yes now its open

get it while it's hot> it wasn't as bad as I thought lol

UCSF release was more brutal! Lol

Anyone with vandy have Jan 27 and willing to switch with me? Please, willing to pay

yeah it's annoying how much info you have to glean going to individual sites

Finding out I wasted signals on BU and NYU 👎

Are NYU and BU open to home derm students or just not any derm at all?

yep and vanderbilt and emory too

wasted mine on Christianacare lol rip

why do they do this to us its already so expensive bro> wait why was emory a waste?

Tulane, hopkins, (feel free to add more), yale, vandy, louisville, USC, miami, mayo Jax

basically most Florida programs (not all but like 50%), Cincinnati, MUSC, Utah, Mayo AZ, dartmouth

As in derm interviews are in person? Or prelim/TY

derm baby

oh for fuvks sake > LMFAOOO

mind you i gave them a gold

that blows lmao

I feel like anyone who signaled them (gold or silver, especially gold) should get that back and be able to use it elsewhere. I know this will never happen, but this is really unfair.

lowkey down to report them to the ACGME

IU Southwest IM also did this

emory first now this. signals i could have used elsewhere

emory said it on website

no ones going through every program's website

they said it before ERAS was due or no?

emory did. Vandy just said it today.

we're good

< why did they delete and re-make it

n=1 but i didn't geo pref and got an iv (not from the area, no ties)

Thanks! do you mean you put no geo pref at all, or that it was geo pref unaligned?

put no geo pref

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

Hey ya'll we have most of the spreadsheet filled out now (a separate copy exists despite someone sabotaging and deleting). We are still missing matches for: Kansas (KS), Vanderbilt (TN), Temple (PA), MCG (GA), HCA Corpus Christi (TX), HealthPartners (MN), Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville) (FL), EVMS (VA), Marshfield Clinic (WI), DCC-Flint (MI), LSU - New Orleans (LA).

5 to 10

Both schools are excellent when it comes to their Derm residency programs. I would go with personal fit. Maybe weather. I think both are true P/F in preclinical.

Not sure what you mean by what you heard in terms of Wash U and the Derm Match this year, but both medical schools are excellent when it comes to their respective Derm residency programs as your home program. I would go with personal fit. Maybe even weather (Nashville vs. St. Louis). I think both are true P/F in preclinical so they're equal there. In past years, Wash U has done just fine when it comes to their internal applicants going for Derm.
