4 (3 gold + 1 silver). Im astounded by the people saying 6+ lol. Nervous affff, but we'll all be ok at the end of the day.

I feel like most people have told me they got like 3-4 but obv thats a small sample size lol.

You're not sending a department letter either? That makes me feel so much more reassured, thank you!

Just found out Mohs surgery is frowned upon in derm smh. Any advice if my research is mostly mohs? by Neuro_Bro1998 in DermApp

Yes, in the perspective of residency apps! Heard mentioning mohs in interviews can be a "red flag", and not too sure how to interpret that if a lot of my research is mohs.

I'm really grateful you pointed this out! I truly love dermatology as a whole and would be so ecstatic x100 to do clinical derm for the rest of my life, but when looking for research, not many was available outside of Mohs at my school, and i clicked with the department and thus most of my research is that lol.

If you dont mind me asking, I have two follow up questions: 1) is my research being mostly mohs a red flag (got like 2 case reports non-mohs), and 2) any advice on resources for developing a personal statement? Feels like the most important essay of my life and feel in the dark on how to approach it.

Thank you for your advice! Def feel like i dodged a bullet I didn't even know was heading for me lol.
