Just wanted to create a place for people to talk about interviews and stuff. Anyone receive any interviews yet? Submitted my application several weeks ago and have just been waiting, quietly.
 
Good luck guys/gals. Keep your chin up and prepare for a long wait, most derm interviews go out sometime after the deans letter on Nov 1. The stress well suck arse as you see your classmate in other fields get tons of interviews before the deans letter goes out. Don't worry to much I remember some interview offers even went out after thanksgiving. I don't know why derm does this, I just think it is because they can.
 
Thanks for the words of encouragement!
 
how many invites before we start feeling good about possibly matching? 4? 8? 12? 21?
 
I agree...Dermboard has gone down the drain.

Maybe we should all start posting here. It would be nice to have a supportive online community as we all go through this stressful match process together.
 
Can we get some stories about those of you who are applying to derm this year (stats, research, school rank, connections, interviews as they come, etc)?
 
Hey everyone, thought I'd post last year's interview invite thread from the dermboard:

Good luck to everyone this season!

Would love to revive the board here, I find that SDN is def more friendly, maybe because we're not anonymous 😉

Applied to 66 programs, way too many prelims, and hoping for the best.

Bonnie
 
Thanks for posting the interview info missbonnie! I feel like I can breathe a little until November hits 🙂

I could not agree more with everyone above. We are in SERIOUS need of a friendly place to post derm info. I will be posting/reading here from now on.

I applied to 52 programs...

Only a few prelims for personal reasons.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Let's keep in touch.

Per NRMP, among US Seniors applying in dermatology:

Those who matched in 2007 ranked 8 programs on average.

Those who did not match ranked 3 programs.

That's some good stuff.👍

I was thinking about an FAQ thread sticky, that would include stuff like this. If anyone else has any other ideas post them or PM me.
 
At least the 5 or 6 of us have a friendly place to chat! Applied to 50 programs and 10 prelims. It's nice to know that interviews don't get sent out til Nov/Dec. Guess we can just sit back and relax til then...
 
Thanks miss bonnie, what a great post.

I applied to 50-ish programs and 10 TY/prelim. Now just twiddling my thumbs.
 
40 programs, 20 prelims

yeah, too trigger happy with the prelims

Hey guys

Here is an interview calendar for the current season. Not complete but is def. useful.

I know that MCW (milwaukee) has dates on Dec 15 and 2 additional dates in Jan

Are u guys interested in starting an interview invite thread once they start rolling in?
-B
 
I'm definitely interested in starting an interview thread when the time comes. Maybe the collaborative spirit will be contagious!
 
Hello everyone, I'm applying to Derm and just recently joined this site. I applied to 46 derms 10 prelims.
 
I too am applying this year in Derm and was extremely grateful for Missbonnie's post! I applied to 30 Derm programs (so few because I have a family that I can't just pick up and move anywhere in the country) and 10 prelims. I figured that I had to start really rethinking my career when I had a bunch of prelim interviews and 0 derm interviews. But since nobody hears anything for another couple of weeks, I will try to quiet my compulsive mind. I will also post my interviews if/when they start coming in.
 
70-ish programs, 30-ish prelims, but I'm couples matching.

Any idea on how to update programs with new information? I sent my app out a little too early, maybe, since a lot of my submitted papers have become accepted papers.

Add mine me to the growing list of "thank you's" to missbonnie for this info. I would love to see an invite thread as well.

I applied to 65-70 programs, 12 prelims.
 
Hi! I applied to over 60 programs and a bunch of prelims >> TY.
 
Nice to see some live in one of these forums,

I applied to 64 derm programs and 20 pre-lims (mostly because its the first ten are free)
 
Hey everyone, good to see that there is an alive forum for this years Dermatology applicants. After following the Dermboard for two years or so, I, like many of you, was saddened to see it fade away after being such an excellent resource for so many years (and during my year of applying as well 🙁🙁).

I applied to quite a few Derm programs (in the upper 80's I think), and roughly 7 prelims. I don't have a home Derm program, so without that in my corner I applied as broadly as possible, to see what kind of interviews I would get.

Hope to see you all on the interview road 🙂🙂🙂 Best of luck to everyone!!!!

Keep posting, and stay in touch!!!

I've decided to move over to sdn.

My computer got a virus and my norton antivirus software makes a fuss ("this site has a recorded virus attack") whenever I visit dermboard. It also sucks because people post there like once a week.

I applied to 90+ programs and 10 prelims, 10 TY.

time is flying. Its almost nov 1.
 
I applied to over 60 programs and haven't heard anything yet. The other day I got this teaser from medical college of georgia that said they were reviewing my application.

Interesting... I didn't get this teaser. Perhaps this means you beat a filter and are getting reviewed.
 
I got a double teaser from them! The message was sent twice. U too, texasderm?
 
Yeah, it was a double teaser. After the first teaser, I was like, "that's ok, I'm sure the next one will be something good". The second one was an identical message.
 
I got the same exact thing Texasdermie got the other day.
