Seriously? Cause im pretty sure that would make me think really hard before ranking it.... unless of course your just exaggerating to prove how bad the city is?

I wish I was joking. Maybe not threatened, more like almost stabbed. Apparently I don't know the etiquette for walking on the sidewalk. He said he decided not to stab me when he looked at me and I clearly "didn't know what the **** I was doing". I tried to make light of the situation but he just kept yelling. I was legitimately scared. At least now I know to alert people when I pass them while walking on the sidewalk. 🙄
But, you can get stabbed in any city. And living there for three years would be better than not being an emergency medicine physician.

Projected total of number 1 ranks? Hmm..
I'm going with the assumption that nobody else applied and I am the only one.
Seriously dude get yourself some sort of hobby. This saga is a wee bit sad.
For the love of all that is holy lets keep the bloody power score stuff to the other thread please.
Actually, considering the number of anonymous ROLs I get sent to me every day (at least 20) with thanks for compiling the information, and the number of times the sheet has been viewed (over 2500 now) clearly people are interested in this information (and it's just a compilation now, there's no more "program rankings"--which is clearly relevant to a ROL thread). Don't worry, I do plenty of other things with my time. Just because you don't care doesn't mean others don't.
Fine though, i won't post on this thread anymore.

DO applicant, USMLE 225/227, COMLEX 540/470. 3 EM aways - 1 Honors, 2 High Pass. Applied to 62 programs, 4 interviews. Probably should have applied to at least a few DO programs, talked myself into thinking that because my usmle scores were better than my comlex, acgme made sense. Would be thrilled to match at any of these places. Good luck everyone, 16 days!
1. SUNY Downstate
2. Beth Israel NY
3. Staten Island
4. Sinai-Grace

As usual, the only "saga" around here is people trying to belittle others, through the magic shield of the interwebs.
If you wanna post about intermittently in here, it sure doesnt bother me. The fact that is significantly more rankings on it makes it an interesting, if ultimately flawed, tool

Hmmm im surprised you didnt get more interviews. There a red flag somewhere?
I agree with vick.
No red flags on my transcript, no gaps, I asked my school if any of my SLORs had anything bad in them them that I needed to address when reaching out to programs, they said no. My only guess is that the place I rotated in September took 6 weeks to send my SLOR. So until November 12, I only had one. In hindsight, I should have tried to get two letters from my August rotation.
Thanks guys.

more baby turtle pics maybe?
I agree that if people don't mind, post them on this thread (I will still add the data to the spreadsheet).
Most of the ROLs I have gotten by PM are from people who aren't comfortable posting theirs online.
side note, but it'd be interesting what people believe is the percentage of EM applicants who frequent/lurk/visit this site...Honestly, I'd say it's pretty low...maybe 15%...guess I could go has high as 20%??? maybe, which I guess is actually kind of high.
I'd say that's a fair estimate...
do student low 240's step 1 / low 250's step 2 comlex between 620-650 on both ..
first and only post i'll ever do.
I hate alot of people on the site but thought i would share for future students b/c i did use the site even tho i hate it.

MD student, USMLE 209/249, 2EM rotations, HP and H, 47 applications, 11 interviews.
I also have a love/hate relationship with this site, but decided to post anyway since I did spend a lot of time on here. My takeaway from SDN: take everything with a grain of salt, don't read too much into posts, and most of all DON'T FREAK OUT. Medical students freak out way too much.
1. University of Washington
2. University of New Mexico
3. University of Arizona
4. Albany Medical Center

10. Detroit Receiving
11. Sinai Grace
2 more weeks! Getting exciting now.

Only used site during interview season, otherwise try and avoid anything related to SDN. Hopefully this is a first-time last-time thing.
School on left coast, trying to get back to no coast (re: midwest) if possible with a few abberations.
above average boards, honors in all emergency medicine rotations, couple publications and significant volunteer-type stuff. Prolly pretty average though the way this forum makes it seem.

ROL compilation open for group editing.
Just wow----how many people have asked you to just keep bumping your thread and leave this for rank lists? Again I plead with you to get a hobby. Have you considered watching spring training and compiling your sabermetrics?
Ouch.... Take it easy.... I have plenty of hobbies right now and would still have ample spare time if I decided to put this together like he/she has done.... Pretty sure its no harm to anyone to post it in here that its open.... Whether or not this compilation is accurate at all, it is still interesting and im sure will be used in the future.
Ehh its annoying, but dude obviously doesn't care, he will come back and post another update tomorrow. Ahh well c'est la vie.
Late to the game, but thought I'd add my 2c since I browsed the site last summer to get info on programs. I'll write pros and cons from what I remember, but I made my rank list by early Jan and it was more on gut-feel about places.
Details on me: couples matching (affected my rank list), 230s step 1, 240s step 2; no red flags on application; applied 26, offered 21, interviewed 16
1. UNC: loved that many non-ED rotations are at the community hospital (so no competition for patients/procedures from other residents). Really gelled with the residents and faculty here, and the area was fantastic.
2. Duke: like UNC, loved the area, residents, and faculty, really gelled with PD; loved the emphasis on EMS/disaster medicine
3. Baylor: big emphasis on residents taking leadership positions in EM; I just got the impression that the program looks to take residents beyond just being clinically skilled, which was a big plus for me; cons-no graduate class yet
4. Indiana: big plus for me was that a recent grad had taken a medical director job; the tracks here really prepare the students for focuses in emergency medicine; gelled with residents here as much as UNC, cons- Brr, it's cold there
5. UAB: PD was fantastic (probably the most relatable), training seems strong, and residents were friendly; enjoyed my time in the city
6. UT-SW (Austin): big plus was the city; I also liked the idea of helping shape a program into a strong one while it's young; cons- program is very young
7. UT-Houston: emphasis on residents finding a focus and exploring their interest in EM; cons- 12 hr shifts
8. Louisville: big emphasis on learning by doing, faculty seemed approachable; cons-felt unsafe in my time in the city
9. Wake Forest: training would be great here, just didn't gel with the residents as much as other programs
10. M-USC: same as Wake Forest; MUSC has the best tour of all my interviews, though part of it may have been the personality of the resident giving the tour
Others in no particular order:
-Scott & White: solid reputation and I felt like I'd get great training here, but I couldn't convince the SO to be happy with Temple, TX
-Palmetto: similar to Scott & White
-Arkansas: loved the city and the 3 days I spent in Little Rock. In addition, the faculty were great too, but I felt like I wouldn't fit in since it seemed like 75% of each resident class had Arkansas connections
-LSU-NO: only 4-year program I interviewed at; would've been higher due to exceptional training, but didn't like the idea of going to 6 hospitals
-UT-SW (Dallas): impression that they take learning by experience to the extreme
-Jacksonville: see UT-SW

This has been a problem since they started. I think they have the opportunity to be a good program in a great town but if they want to start attracting talent in the the match they need to replace him. It was only one of two programs I did not rank.

Exactly, this thread is about baby turtles and rants against spreadsheets... Take your discussions about ROL's to another thread!
I ranked baby turtles over spreadsheets because baby turtles have a broader appeal.
Triple like. A couple spring to mind immediately.
You guys have to chill. This is only a website. :}
So, who all matched? I heard there were only three open spots nationwide! Looks like EM has remained extremely competitive...
Dont ask where the spots are, thats against the rules.

I matched! Congrats to everyone else who did too! 👍
Word on the street is that there is actually only one SOAP-eligible spot. 🙁 I really feel for the peeps who didn't match, this process can be brutal.
