What are thoughts on ranking the following, interested in interventional:

Beaumont
Colorado
Mayo Rochester
Michigan
Minnesota
Utah
Wash U

Thanks!
WashU - one of the best programs in the nation with high volumes and big names
Michigan - big volume, big names
Beaumont - has one of the best interventional fellowships
Minnesota - good volumes
Colorado - low volumes, expensive
Mayo - good if you want to be a researcher or super specialized, low autonomy from what I've heard, ? 4 year program
Utah - worse state in the nation, also low volumes, lots of tpa from what I've heard

Mayo is 3 years. It’s geared towards academic cardiology.
 
What are your guys thoughts and how would you rank

-Baylor
- Loyola
- Emory
- Boston university
- UC Davis
- Georgetown
- Uni of Maryland

Thanks- you guys are great.
 
So what’s everyone’s thoughts about sending interest emails to programs that you really like which aren’t number one on the ROL? Would it help to say “ranking you highly,” but implying they’re not number one or just keep silent for these programs? I’ve heard mixed responses regarding this.

and also to add on to this question. what should I say in the email that I do send to my #1? Aside from telling them they are my top choice should I be reiterating the talking points of why they are my number 1? or simply just send a short and concise email.

How would people rank these programs?
-Georgetown
-Mount Sinai (clinical track)
-Tufts
-Dartmouth

Thanks for your help!
 
Have programs started to reach out to applicants? Also is that truly a thing that programs call/email applicant that they are ranking them? Also is it a more common practice with smaller programs or pretty much across the board?

I heard this from a few programs when I applied four years ago. Take anything said with a huge huge grain of salt. They are not obligated to tell the truth.

Cooper
University of Arizona Phoenix
Rutgers NJMS
Virginia Tech(location not ideal)

Hey guys, do any of you know when NYU will be conducting their last fellowship interview? Are there remaining interview dates? Thanks in advance and good luck, everyone!!
 
Hey guys, long time follower- first time poster. I was wondering what everyones insight is on newly established programs? I had the opportunity to interview at a new program who will recruit 6 incoming fellows however this is their first year. Do you feel pursuing this program has advantages? Overall, I really liked the faculty and the facility but have some concerns regarding its youth. All insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thoughts on this anyone?

I think short and concise is most realistic. Expressing continued interest and maybe a short/ unique reason as to why your interest should be considered on their part when creating their ROL. Personally, I did something similar for residency and thankfully matched my top choice.
 
Ill try one more time...

Received a last minute off the waitlist interview.... super grateful but wondering if I really have a shot at this program ? Feels likes I am just interviewing to be ranked last :/.

I have not, but I would take it seriously, no one calls you for an interview unless they consider you as an excellent candidate. Good Luck!

Thanks, I should have prefaced that I have family in Michigan and Chicago and would love to stay in those areas respectively. Thoughts on Beaumont compared to UPMC?
 
Anyone have any thoughts on the following / ranking. They all seem like decent places with happy fellows but can't really gauge how to rank them aside from some having in house interventional which is my goal. Im looking for decent all around training with good cath lab volume.

UT Knoxville
USC (carolina)
Medical College of Georgia aka Augusta
SLU
USouthDakota
UMiami JFK
Tulane
 
Is it normal to hear from programs who are ranking you high towards the end? I haven’t heard anything, barely any responses to even my thank you emails.

UPMC overall is much better than Beaumont.
 
Thoughts on how to rank following programs:

Kansas
UPMC
Indiana
Henry Ford
Cleveland Clinic
Beaumont
Michigan
Case Western
Iowa
Emory
Wake Forest
Washington University- Saint Louis
Ohio State

would you consider putting advocate lutheran general in Chicago above Marshall considering chicago vs huntington or the difference in training is significant enough to make Marshall worth it?
 
Greetings everyone,

I'm trying to figure my rank list out, but I forgot to write down the call system for Tulane University program at NOLA when I interviewed there, does anyone remember how their call system is ? (In terms of how many weekend calls and weekday calls and is it frontloaded or not)

Appreciate any help !
