Is there something I should know about rush before I rank it?

hey...why did u put utmb over baylor and scott white? im in a bind btw scott and utmb as my number 1. any suggestions?
Click to expand...

I liked UTMB because of the curriculum, i.e. 6 months of Anesthesia in the first year. And all the money the department has (free laptop!).

The other two were hurt by there location, but that's just my personal preference. (Houston's too big, Temple's too small).

Scott and White seemed very friendly and probably a really good program, but I couldn't see myself living there. Then again, as far as location goes, UTMB didn't seem that great, either. I guess that's why I put UTSW first.

Just curious as to why you ranked Wake Forest over Vandy... I've been going back and forth about the two and could use a little input. Thanks!

My Fiancé preferred the Medicine program at Wake (I am couples matching) for a number of reasons. I actually had to fight to keep Vandy as high as it is.

If it were just me I would probably still have Wake above Vandy. Only reason why…Traffic sucked in Nashville when I was there. I feel that both programs are equally as strong…

That makes a lot of sense - thanks!
 
WHY do I feel the need to keep making sure my list is certified, etc?

Ditto. I have checked my list 10 times today, just to make sure that green "certified ROL" appears. It would be total bs to not match due to some glitch.

Gasman,

Upstate is offering categorical spots this year? Just last year, Dr. Calimlim was adamant they wouldn't go categorical. Goes to show you that things change!

Well I don' t know about you, but I just had a mini hyperventilating spell. Going to bed now. With a drink. A large drink. :(;):p:eek::eek::eek::confused::scared::thumbdown:. I take solice in the fact that I am the only one so far who has ranked Northwestern #1. That means my chances are higher, right? Something tells me I will be having lots of similar thoughts over the next 3 wks.

6. VCU
7. George Washington
8. Florida - C
9. Florida - A
10. MCG
11. Louisville
12. Miss
13. Tulane

I ranked all that the places I interviewed. I have to say I'm a Carolina boy. I would be happy with any of these places.
 
There's no place like home.

1. Ochsner
2. Baylor (C)
3. Baylor (A)
4. UTHSC - San Antonio
5. Louisville (C)
6. UMKC

8. Arkansas

I could live with 1-7, beyond that would be a tough lifestyle change. Hopefully the South is hearing my call and will answer.

I rotated at Baylor and I did not feel that the PD was very approachable. Additionally, I wrote up some critical care stuff and she said I would only be a contributor for the chapter I wrote. That kinda rubbed me the wrong way being that I spent 2 months writing it. Also, my wife would rather live in Dallas than Houston. Hopefully it won't matter anyway because I hope to match in one of my top 5 choices.

And I hope I don't have to go further down in my list...Mgh, UCSF, and Brigham as backup
 
Why didn't your rank Durmstrang? Did you think people were unhappy there? I feel like I should get as much experience with dark arts in training before I go out and practice on my own.

Durmstrang is q3 call and doesn't have good regional exposure. The PD at Hogwarts, Dr. Dumbledore, is very resident friendly (though between you and me, he is a little too friendly with the male residents).
 
After about 8 changes yesterday...

1. Baylor
2. Mayo Rochester
3. NYU
4. UT Houston
5. MUSC
6. Louisville
7. Loma Linda

9. Kentucky
10. UTHSCSA

12. Loyola

Time to get some sleep... s/p birthday celebration with a presentation to do at 7:30am...
