Hopkins 'prestige'

[Frugal Traveler]

I go to a top 120 US medical school. I got an invite from Hopkins... just wondering if anyone thinks this place is prestigious? I lose sleep at night thinking about this because my Id never could check my ego. I heard that many people stay there for fellowship... which I guess means that they couldn't go somewhere better. I just don't want to go to Maryland for some average program.

If you don't think this is a joke... then got you ... it's a joke.

It's a little premature... but the award for best post of the SDN 2009-2010 IM Interview season goes to:

And you know what they say... "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

Good luck to everyone traveling and on interviews... I'm signing off soon after invites are complete... and will be back for match day. It's been fun 🙂

Hey....I use the word 'awesome' a bit...but then I'm not a Carib grad 😉....maybe he just had an overdose of Barney Stinson

For those who missed it, a thread on the ERAS forum came up close second to the Columbia thread.

Its a pity that the OP removed his original post a few days ago. But the ensuing discussion provided me with many laughs, as well as some insight into how different people approach interviews differently.

There is a budding contender on that forum currently as well, where there are a group of people who are very skeptical on sending out thank you cards/emails, or personalizing them in any sort of way.

Have fun on the trail everybody!
