rank list

Was hoping to get people's thoughts on this rank list. I am trying to balance name brand of associated hospital (will this help with job prospects or opening up my own practice someday?) with the strength of the IR program. The exception is MCVI, which I don't think has much name recognition...

Hello everyone - long time lurker on SDN since my pre-med days, but I feel like I'm at the point where I would really appreciate some additional input from kind strangers on the internet, and help me escape the cycle of insanity that is making a rank order list. For background, I live in New...

Hello! First time posting so please bear with me. Applying anesthesia. Just like other fourth-years, I'm trying to finalize my rank list. I feel like it's set overall, but still having difficulty choosing between top 2, and deciding the order of 3-5. Important to me is proximity to...

Hi! I feel very thankful for the awesome places I've been able to interview at and have been struggling with ranking. Obviously there's so much to think about, but if any of you have program recommendations or strong opinions about going to/avoiding a program, please please share! I'm looking...

helpful advice, thank you both!!

If one wants to get into an Endo or Heme-Onc fellowship and wants to have some clinical research done...? The facilities are allegedly in the top 5 in the US, and it's near Boston, and it is affiliated with UMass...anyone really wanting to train there? Thanks for the input. (This post is not for...

Hi all, obviously down to the wire here and I'm trying to turn over every stone I can. I am pretty solid on my rank list but agonizing over my top 3: Georgetown, Jefferson, and Umass. I know they are all good programs, but I'm trying to figure out as much as I can about their...

Hi all. MS4 that applied to anesthesiology this year. As my scheduled interviews are nearly done, I have naturally started to think more about my rank list. Currently, I’m having a really tough time with UNC vs Duke. My gut says UNC > Duke purely based on my virtual interactions, but I can't...

Hi guys, Need help ranking 3 programs. I had some red flags so I’m grateful I even have 3 to rank lol. That said, it’s hard. The programs are: 1. SUNY upstate 2. Rutgers 3. UT Houston I enjoyed all 3 interviews some more than others. Does anyone have any info on Rutgers? It’s hard to find...

Hello! I wanted to ask you which medical schools you think/know are the most teaching-oriented, student-centered ones. I understand all medical medical schools are, well, "schools" and care about their students, so that’s why I say "the most" and specify the teaching aspect of it. I’m in my...

hi everybody! i'm about to wrap up this interview season and need advice on ranking IR programs. with the virtual nature of everything this year, it's been tough to get a true feel for each place, and the clinical quality of many programs seems comparable. i'd appreciate any insights you have...

Hi all, I'm the education chief resident of neurology at Washington University. I just sat down with two of my co-chiefs and recorded a podcast where we offer our tips on choosing a neurology residency. Check it out if you're interested: Home - Brain Boy Neurology Let me know if you have any...

Hey everyone, I'm a medical student and I need some advice. So, a while back, I took part in a PD question answer panel at my base hospital. Almost all of the PDs agreed that it is best to send an email saying basically "hey I'm ranking you #1 in the rank process". I misunderstood and thought...

Hey everybody! I saw this post last year as a way to calm the nerves (i suppose) of applicants and thought it would be interesting to see some updated results. Again, this is all in 'good' fun so please take the poll with a grain of salt! Edit: So far so good!

Preface: Just one man’s opinion and there are some generalizations, but I think it’s applicable to most programs. Congratulations, you’ve interviewed at multiple radiology residency programs and now it’s time to make your rank list. How should you rank or sort the list to get the best medical...

Happy ERAS opening day tomorrow! Wanted to start this thread so we could all collab and discuss as the interview trail unfolds. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi folks! Had some questions regarding the level of applicant I am for Gen Surg, and the types of programs I could reasonably be a good applicant for. Goals wise- I'd like to head into academics in the future, and do a residency in a bigger city (mostly as this provides my SO with good job...

Greetings fellow SDNers, Come rank list crunch time, I seek your brutally honest input regarding ranking my favorite southern CA programs: UCLA/OVH, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and Kaiser San Diego --- especially from anyone familiar with them. I'm lucky to know I'd be pleased with any of them...

Hey, everyone! It's that time; time for the constant anxiety and intermittent nightmares about our rank lists. Everyone is going to generate this list completely differently, but I think we can all agree that, like patient care, it's an assessment that can be made only after consideration and...

Long time lurker here and now I am in serious need of help from the senior radiology community. I've read so much about prestige and academic vs. private practice careers that I think I am psyching myself out. Especially after talking to MS4s. So here is me: I am a MS4 who is going into...

I have a few weeks between interviews to start to gather my notes and **** but I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me sort through my rank list. Considerations are: 1) Want to go into academic IR, so research (especially basic/translational/device development) is very important to...

I've been meaning to post this for a year or so, but here it goes. One thing matters when you rank your options. One thing above all else. You'll encounter a lot of advice and methodology for ranking programs; people will record sedations, talk about osteotomy numbers, talk about their areas of...

Could you please share some information about the following programs? How would you rank them solely based on the quality of the program, NOT location or weather. Thank you very much! Loma Linda University Tulane University SUNY Downstate Rutgers NJMS Allegheny General Hospital (Pittsburgh, PA)

Does anyone know whether there are any stats out about odds of matching to your top choice on your rank list? Top 3, top 5, and so forth? I searched around but can't seem to find these numbers. Thanks in advance and good luck!

If these were your top two choices, how would you rank these programs? Program A: At home institution 3-4 hours from home (being semi-close is somewhat important to you) Already know you love the faculty and know they are good teachers At mid-tier institution that's not as well known...

I'm having one hell of a time trying to order my rank list. Location is semi important, but so is my significant other's preference (couples matching into peds). I also know that I want to do an IR fellowship. I have narrowed down my top 6 to: UPMC Cincinnati U Illinois - Chicago Einstein (PA)...

I'm a US Citizen, no visa issues, location is not important. Below is a tentative list but please give your input. If I match in IM I plan to do a cardiology or allergy/immunology fellowship. If I match in FM I plan to do a sports medicine or ER fellowship. 1) UPMC Hamot - Emergency Medicine...

Hey guys! Echoing similar posts from the past, what are your opinions on the following list of radiology programs (DR). Thoughts based on quality of training and your "feel" of the program if you have interviewed at any of them (some are blending together as interviews are ending) - Thanks...

Hi! Since it's time to start finalizing my match list I wanted to kick things off with mine and let you all critique or give me ideas. In order: 1.) University of Pennsylvania: + Very complete program w/ freestanding peds hospital. Quite close to my home with ease of access, -Work their...

But you guys probably want to ask how you should rank programs. So go ahead and do that I guess.

Hey guys! My buddy asked for some help creating all the possible combinations for his Couples Match rank list, and I had some free time to I made a web tool here: MactionTools Some features: * Generate all possible program-pair combinations from individual rank lists * Sort based on average...
