yeah, real cool of you to post this when multiple other people are bummed out about not getting it. Wayta taunt them.
And i say this objectively, as i did not apply there. Have some tact.
Although it seems you are probably trolling.

Does anyone know how Wheaton-Franciscan/St. Joseph in Milwaukee is in regards to their TY and rads programs?
I have heard decent things about their TY Programs, but according to sources, their rads program is tier 4-5.

chill man 24 hours isnt that long. some of my programs took up to a week or more to confirm.Has anyone heard back from UIC regarding interview confirmation after sending them date preferences? It's been over 24 hours..

Yea same here. I never heard back from one program and it was 2 weeks since my initial contact. So I contacted them again when I was told that they never received my email, and top 3 preference dates I had are no longer available.
I hate programs that have deadlines to reply though as you always have "what if they didn't receive my email.."
What is the reputation of Bridgeport?
It's in Connecticut.
Yes I know. How about its relationship with yale? Just trying to recruit under a brand name?
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Like he said, it's in Connecticut.
lol
Well, Yale is in CT as well. As far as tiers, I meant
I said as much as needed to be said.
I should also add that it is a radiology program.

Both pretty solid. UMKC is a diamond in the rough type program with unique integrated intern year.I am debating between William Beaumont and UMKC which program is better?
Santa Clara is by far the most competitive of those and IMO the best. By reputation; I would rank them SCV, LLU, kaiser = cedars, cottage, harbor. By desirability, SCV >>>> Cedars = Kaiser > Cottage > Harbor >>> LLU.
I get the impression that reputation is very regionally based and shouldn't be taken as uniform across the country. True, SCV has a decent reputation in California and takes students from great med schools and is a feeder for Stanford fellowships, but this doesn't seem as relevant when viewed in light of its standing in the East Coast, where program directors not as familiar with SCV may view it in light of its status as a community program.
Similarly, I am interested in eventually returning to California for a career but wouldn't mind doing my residency on the East Coast. I've spoken to the radiology chairman at my institution, who says that if my long-term goal is California, I'd be better off at any California program than, say, a program like Mount Auburn, which is like SCV's analogue on the East Coast with its MGH fellowship connections yet is relatively unknown in California.
In other words, SCV's reputation is decent if you're planning to stay in California, but maybe not so great compared to an academic program like LLU if you want to eventually work elsewhere.
Disagree. SCV is the biggest hospital on the peninsula in a city with more than a million people and gets a wide variety of cases. It's a level 1 trauma center with ~600 beds. It's in no way comparable to mt auburn which is tiny (213 beds). In any case, your fellowship makes much more difference than your residency for where you end up. Of the neuro fellows from Stanford, one went to SCV, one went to st Luke's Roosevelt in NYC, and two were from Hawaii, fwiw. I'd pick SCV over LLU no matter what regardless of where you want to practice.
What? Both UCSF and Stanford are also on the peninsula (Stanford not quite, but neither is SCV) and have more beds (both >600 vs SCV's upper 500's). And fellowship is the most important, but nearly most residencies of decent quality match residents into brand-name fellowships. You'd be hard-pressed to find a decent radiology residency that has not matched at least a few residents into top places like MIR, MGH, UCSF, etc. Mount Auburn may be small compared to SCV, but its fellowship list is pretty difficult to beat, with many if not most residents matching into MGH, UCSF, etc.
I'm not trying to put down SCV by any means; it's a good program, and I would definitely not mind going there if they'd take me (especially being from California). But realistically, in the end, the distinction between academic and community programs does exist for a reason, especially given that connections are important in the field of radiology. Most community program physicians tend to come from the region, while academic programs are more likely to draw from a national pool of candidates for faculty.
Hey guys,
I just got my step 2 scores back today! I am currently a 4th year student in Chicago medical school and have received interview invites from most of top Chicago programs I want to potentially end up at.
My step 1 - 257, AOA!
Step 2 - 251
Do you think this will hurt me? I'm not going to release my step 2 scores! I guess I did not study as hard as I thought I did.
Do you know about programs wanting step 2 score to rank in Chicago and Midwest in general? Thanks guys!
Thanks! I have decided to go to William Beaumont for an interview.Both pretty solid. UMKC is a diamond in the rough type program with unique integrated intern year.
Beaumont is strong and with the prospect of merger with HF (hospital not specific to rads program) and new Oakland U med school shifting it further to academic, it is probably getting stronger.
Location obv. A huge factor in both.
WashU says that they have had a record number of applications this year. Interesting since a lot of people say that overall apps are down.
Anyone familiar with Cedars Sinai's program? General consensus on AuntMinnie is that it is one of the smaller California programs with a lesser national reputation (given, the hospital is well-known, but the radiology program maybe not so much), but several program directors at east coast interviews who've asked about my interviews seem to have a pretty good impression of it, even compared to other bigger more academic programs like UC Davis or Irvine. Unsure what to make of this, especially given that I do have some interest in academic medicine.
In my opinion, UC irvine is a good deal above davis and cedars sinai
Really? EVERYTHING I READ ON AUNTMINNIE IS WRONG
I'll just decide for myself then.
