Who were some stand out applicants this cycle? What made them superb candidates? If we want to avoid name-dropping, did any programs match really well this year?

So what are your thoughts on the match? Any trends or effects from this unique cycle? Are you happy with your result?

Hey folks, anyone have knowledge about NYU's program? How is the subI, research expectations, and clinical volume across specialties?

Is it wrong to bring up that boxing is your hobby in an interview for residency? with the whole TBI/CTE problem? lol

I was wondering if it is okay to reach out to someone at different institution and ask them to be your mentor. We have home NS program, but I would really love to reach out residents or attending at another institution. The PD/Chair will be retiring soon... before I apply for residency. Thank you!

How did Stanford accept 4 residents this year? Is volume increasing with Lim and JFM? Is the program on the up and up?

Hi everyone,

I know this is a tough topic in our specialty, and medicine in general, but I'd love to hear some opinions as I'm struggling quite a lot at the moment, and the stigma around it makes rational thoughts on treatment a lot harder. I'm a junior and corona undeniably made the last year a lot tougher, but after having been diagnosed in undergrad, and going off medication more or less successfully during medschool, I feel that I'm reaching a point where I might not be able to deal with these issues by myself anymore. Productivity is extremely low, my interactions with patients and colleagues don't go the way they once did, and personally, there are weeks where I'm just going through hell. I'm planning to stay in academia so there's always more to do on days off, and it also increases the hesitancy to get help due to the size of our field and the shitshow that academic medicine can be. Any perspective is welcome, thank you

can someone post link to excel sheet with names of ppl who matched?

Anyone know of an open PGY3 spot anywhere?

Don't worry I have a life and have plenty of celebrations with friends and family planned but the time I'm actually working how should I best prepare for intern year? 
I planned to rotate on service more to learn how to manage the floors and put orders in, but are there any other things ppl would recommend (reading Greenberg cover to cover, reviewing imaging, etc.)? What do you wish you had done?
