Me!! I just chose some personal interests and needs over big names. MD Anderson matched all their spots (6?), so it isn't like all the big names didn't match.
NIH only offers one spot also. I don't remember if Hopkins is 1 or 2.
4 people from my class went for PGY2 in oncology (~100 in my class). I've heard from 2 others, they matched at good programs too. I haven't heard from the other one.
One of my best friends got one of the 6 emergency med spots. She didn't even apply at Hopkins or Mayo- didn't meet what she was looking for (although I don't know what that is).
Mayo doesn't see too many gunshot wounds/random unprovoked acts of violence, but I'm sure that isn't the problem at Hopkins. Pharmacy school affiliation maybe?
