Curious if anyone knows the general competitiveness of UW medical center PGY1 residencies? They have a great PGY2 program I am interested in and I am thinking if I am in the "system" for my 1st year then that only helps for the year 2 program (or is this untrue?). I am coming from an average school out of state if it makes any difference. Thanks!

This maybe should have been posted in the residency forum, but I'm sure a mod'll move it... 🙂

I interviewed at UW for their PGY-1, and I was also from out-of-state. From what one of the residents told me during the interview, this past cycle they had 120 applications and interviewed 45 for 7 spots. And typically, places that have PGY-2 positions will have an early committment that is offered to just their current PGY-1s (for the number of PGY-2 spots offered), and if that is unfulfilled, then the positions open up for interviewing to those outside the residency for match.

Hope this helps. 🙂
