I woudln't mind living in this place and some faculty at my school said it is ok. But I got the feeling that the faculty was strange and that the program was as the resident in another program described.
Thrombus said:yeah, obviously i will be ranking the other 7 programs ahead of this one
i am just wondering what my chances are to get something better in the scramble
also how easy is it to transfer?
next year i would think there will be more spots open with the 2 classes graduating
i know most programs are trying to open up more spots gradually but some are not and regardless, i expect next year to be easier
so perhaps ranking this and hoping for a transfer would be a good option if things do not work out

ok, enuf Virchow humor, but seriously no way you'll even get that far down on your rank order. If those 8 places gave you an interview, they're seriously considering you. Trust yourself in that. Still, i'd rank that last place over scrambling...
path19 said:i agree. rank them all. i was a pretty average american graduate last year who, due to some unknown reason, matched with my #9. and this was after getting lots of positive feedback from many programs. so, crazy things do happen, so unless you hate a program so much that you would rather scramble and run the risk of having to take a year off, i say rank them all.
jeff, you're gonna do just fine! keep your chin up.jeff2005 said:Just recently I looked through the list of programs that didn't fill last year. I was having my obligatory weekly panic attack about not matching, and I wanted to see the options that were available last year. I regret canceling so many interviews out of sheer laziness. This is going to be a very long month.

Where did you find the unfilled list? I looked at NRMP section for unfilled spots, but it was blank - like it was for this year's list. How do you get the info on previous years?stormjen said:I looked through the unfilled programs list about three days ago. It's irritating since a lot of those are probably CP only, so how can I obsess properly if I don't know the correct number of unfilled positions? I mean, come on!
Well, let's make a pact. All of us. When we start our residencies next year, we must all post our review of our respective programs on scutwork. Who's in?stormjen said:Yeah, I got the info from scutwork. I love that site but wish more people would submit reviews.

stormjen said:I'm definitely in. Especially if I make it into one of my top programs, I plan to really promote it. I figure helping to bring in good residents is the best chance I'd have of personally improving the program--other than doing research there.

I'm definitely in! I love helping students out who are interested in path. I'm already infecting the younguns coming up through the ranks at my school. It was tough picking programs blindly on my ERAS app so I hope we can help those coming after us to make informed decisions!AndyMilonakis said:Well, let's make a pact. All of us.
