Wake Forest Baptist Med Ctr-NC

<Got my hopes up with the ERAS attachment <programs that do this with rejections are literally the worst. so annoying x20002 I think they just won the Darwin Awards for rejection letters << no, that was Wake Forest. Cryptic message and you had to open the attachment to see you were rejected.

Can't believe they send such a cryptic message and make you log in to view the rejection. So stupid.

Ugh agreed

<- lol they also titled the pdf as a non-acceptance letter

I LOL’ed and didn’t need me to open the letter

skin of color as in red man syndrome?

oh good question! I would like to know too

My guess: Mt. Sinai, Wake, Howard, UCSF, Harvard, U penn, NYU

< you forgot UTAH

NYU??? x2

absolutely NYU << dang one would think that best skin of color training would occur in places with high % skin of color pop (Detroit, Birmingham, Baltimore, etc)

really UTAH?

I think sarcasm

What about Henry Ford, Emory, UNC, NW? Henry Ford PD actually felt the need to reassure us during the interview presentation that they get to see skin cancer at community clinics because the main hospital is so heavily just skin of color

<I rotated at UNC and felt it was very diverse - agreed, very pleasantly surprised

Another vote for Wake Forest! Amy McMichael is an amazing doctor and person!

<- WF faculty seems diverse, but their patient population is still pretty rural and not as diverse

yes, but Dr. McMichael has an interest in SOC so tailors her teaching/clinic to that. She gave a talk to our program a few years ago, hence the fangirling.

Also, Hopkins has a specific initiative to support underrepresented minority faculty and residents.

My flight connects through Charlotte to final destination of Greensboro.

Flight to Greensboro for me.

VV but was any of that a surprise for people going into the research year? They made an informed decision knowing that the year is unfunded and there is no guarantee of interviews

< may not have been a surprise, but that still doesn't make it right

would you be surprised if your son came out of the closet? EXACTLY.

?

MCW Waitlist

Ties to Midwest, strong app, very confused how I didn't get this one and disappointed. Congrats to you all though! << not missing much << There are 600-700 applications for a handful of positions. Don't take it personally. << Applicants who are JUST as strong as you PLUS Research Years and BOMB LORs from close mentors or friends of family.

I'm starting to think that a subject like of "Application update" never means interview.

love waking up on the west coast to rejection emails <<< sometimes i wake up on the east coast to rejection emails and it's like whoa you guys got the dreams crushing started very early today

V scared to wake up tomorrow.

< totally scurd!

the gift that keeps giving << why are you so excited you got the rejection? <<< Nice to finally have closure since they have had so many cycles of invites and rejects

Very nice rejection letter, not the best communication method since your heart is beating 200bpm and you have to open up a completely neutral sounding email to view the rejection letter. Literally no idea of rejection or invite until you download the PDF x2< yea ridiculous that you have to go into eras to open an attachment for a freaking rejection

PD sounds like an idiot

Makes you really appreciate the programs that put their decision in the subject title. Shout out to UNC

WOKE Forest! LMAOOOOOO THE ROLLERCOASTER CONTINUES!!!

<- if they’re not gonna invite me can they just reject me already 😭x3

maybe in the next wave of rejections lol << no, they clearly want to torture everyone

I rotated here and didn't get an interview, RIP

so... what if i didn't get invited but also didn't get rejected? this gonna be like wake all over again? lol x4

they should just reject us rather than staying in limbo x1 << Just checked last year's chat and rejections came in waves. << while you're checking chat...by this point were interviews similarly distributed? or what tf is going on? << After a couple of waves of rejections, there's Mayo limbo, which appears to be a kind of wait list in case someone scheduled from the first draft dropps... Actually looks like a formal waitlist email came out later.

WAKE me up inside (WAKE me up inside) Call my name and save me from the daaaaaark

LMAO I love you guys

WHEN ITS ALL OVER

< welcome to the club <3 <hahaha thanks!

<- anyone still in limbo..?

Yes, and very confused

< No, emailed WF a prelim LOI and no response

Why is Cooper still giving interviews? They have one position. It kinda waters down the interview invite that I got .

regardless of your invite, they will fill up all the spots they have for interviews. I doubt they are creating new interview spots, just filling the existing ones. CONGRATS!

No... I rotated there and did not get an interview... also heard from several other rotators who did not interview << im so sorry man --> also rotated and did not get an interview>rotated, did not get an interview

Thanks for the heads up, and I'm really sorry to hear that. I have some MS3 mentees who are considering rotating there

I will say it was a fantastic rotation. Learned a ton and good networking. Got several pubs out of it. x2

Good to know, so it's really hit or miss. You may get a lot out of it, but you may not, just depends on the person? I rotated with 10 other students, so I assume they rotate much more than they can invite

I think you'll get a lnot out of it no matter what so long as you work hard and are proactive. But as to whether or not you get an interview, it's def hit or miss.

My guess: Mt. Sinai, Wake, Howard, UCSF, Harvard, U penn, NYU
