Thoughts on VCU? Seems like a hidden gem, residents genuinely appeared happy

Has anybody who's done a sub-I with UNC Chapel Hill, has interviewed there, or is currently there speak to either the sub-I experience or the feel of the residency there?

Hey guys,

MS3 here. I’m planning on taking a gap year to do some research but I don’t have a home program. Are there research programs in place at high powered academic centers I can apply into? Any advice on how to get started?

Hello. MS1 here. 

I hope to do research with a NS. He told me to do a presentation for him. However, they keep on putting back the date. They never offer an explanation, only tell me a later date. So it got pushed back like 3 times already. 

Is this a bad sign? Does it mean that they don't want to work with me? Or is this the usual thing? He said he was impressed by my resume, but I don't know if that was to be polite or not. 

Thank you all so much

It sounds like he’s being reprimanded for similar stuff that forced him to leave Louisiana. Thoughts? Also curious - I’ve seen several times on this forum that Nanda has lots of “political power”. How and why? Why is he more “powerful” than other Dept Chairs if he isn’t at a big name institution?

Reading the NRMP match rules and realizing a lot of what I thought was pretty normal questions seem to be violations of the “Restrictions on Persuasion” part of the rules. 

Examples. I’ve had programs ask 
- how many interviews completed/how far into the interview season I am… seems benign
- how many interviews I received… ehh questionable 
- what geographic regions of programs applied/received interviews… benign to me, but apparently not allowed per rules
- what places have I interviewed, I clarified “name them?” Response “yes, what programs” definitely seems inappropriate and is actually a violation apparently

Anyone else getting these sort of questions?

Absolutely loved my UW interview, but there wasn't a ton of talk about the call schedule/lifestyle which sounds like the only draw back from this program.

Would anyone be able to give some input about what the typical days/weeks of the junior residents looks like?

Thanks

When do PDs submit their program’s rank list (of the applicants)?

Anybody know when spine section abstracts and AANS abstracts are going to be notified of acceptance or not?

Dear all, could you provide some insight regarding the Sub I at Yale please. Im going there soon.
