Was anyone able to see their UT San Antonio schedule on the website they sent via email?

It will be available the day of the interview - that's what the PC said

 

[ALTFlapper]

MGH added an integrated position, meaning I assume they dropped an independent spot for next year?

they will no longer offer independent next year, sadly a trend in most big institutions

 

[ALTFlapper]

I've heard UAB sent interviews invites recently, can anyone confirm?

Does anyone have Tulane on March 21st? I haven't received a zoom link or schedule yet. Did anyone get one? Does anyone from the previous session know if it is a full day or half day interview?

They had candidate rank for us . It was an hour middle of the day

 

[FlowCoupler]

Penn yea. MGH just told me they’re accepting one resident next year so they might’ve changed their mind or there was something got lost in translation.

Does anyone remember if UMPC residents cover burn calls as seniors (managed the burn unit, etc.) and if they have an injection clinic?

Don't cover burn call is what I have written own but i may be incorrect

Added rank list tab in the spreadsheet, when all are done with their interviews, can you update the sheet along with interview impressions, questions, name/shame, salutes, etc?

 

[ALTFlapper]

As most people have finished interviews please update the sheet including interview impressions and rank list. I have noticed that some people try to scam the rank list. Please be considerate of others and anonymously and truthfully share your rank (otherwise don't share at all). Thanks

 

[ALTFlapper]

Less than a month left, how's everyone feeling? Has anyone heard back from programs through mentors? Please feel free to share experience anonymously here or in the sheet

 

[AnAlienIntrusion]

Anyone know if once you submit you can change your rank list?

 

[FlowCoupler]

Did the Houston programs get much experience at MD Anderson?

Did Lahey abandon its independent program?

 

[ALTFlapper]

[ALTFlapper]

Did Lahey abandon its independent program?

They did not offer spots this year so idk, best if you email their PC

 

[ALTFlapper]

Did the Houston programs get much experience at MD Anderson?

Yes both rotate their but UTHouston have more exposure at MD Anderson

 

[ALTFlapper]

How are you all spending these last few days before the match results? I am personally tired of waiting - it's been 7 months we we submitted our applications!!

 

[ALTFlapper]

All: please help your fellow applicants by anonymously sharing your rank in the spreadsheet, and as a reminder: rank list deadline is in a week from now 5/6 12 pm PT.

The University of Arizona just got approved to start their plastic surgery residency and is taking 1-2 residents outside the match to start this year. It's on APDS.
