derm out of Einstein

[Doublecortin]

So I started this thread on pre-allo board, but I was curious what hard core derm people thought about this issue

P.S. Please don't delete/move thread!


Hello everyone,

I am currently applying to med school and have an interest in derm. I have a good idea of how insanely competitive it is to match into derm. I was just looking over Einstein's match list and was shocked! From 2002-2007, they've had like 10 people match into derm, that's out of class of ~190, , when UCLA matched 11 people this year alone!

They seem to match well into other competitive specialties, like gas, rads, ortho, etc. Why such a disaster when it comes to derm? I really can't believe that since 2002 they've had so very few students interested in derm?

Any thoughts?

The duplicate thread in pre-allo is getting plenty of responses, so closing this one.

I would encourage you not to worry too much. My med school (which was not Einstein) had about one person per year match into derm. But that's all the interest there was, truly.
