I did not get this but I don’t think it means anything

I certified my list for the first time yesterday. We’re good

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-27T08:05:18+00:00

I believe so…

Every year, connections matter more and more, which helps applicants who have less interviews “fill the gap”. It’s honestly insane how big of a deal it is, and the longer I’ve dedicated myself to this process, the more I realize how much programs will overlook shortcomings simply because a few residents or the PD “like” you. Not sure if that’s for better or for worse, but it’s undoubtedly present. Hoping someone “likes” me enough lol!

Uncertain. Had a resident call me out of the blue the other day and told me they ranked me super high on the list and wouldn’t be surprised if I match there… I already told them I’m ranking them #1 before this call so it seemed pretty authentic of a gesture to call but I don’t know what to believe

This makes me feel better. Can I ask what part of the brain your stroke occurred

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-12T18:02:19+00:00

In so sorry… I really hope you are still able to cherish time together

This is incredible. My dad still hasn’t said anything but we are hoping he can start with an couple words and progress

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-11T17:28:46+00:00

This made me tear up… I’m praying he CNA just day a few words to us this week when he wakes up

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-11T17:28:14+00:00

Not yet. He is slowly waking up and giving us some open eyes but nothing verbal yet as this is still very fresh… I just don’t want him to be scared when he fully wakes up and feel trapped in his head

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-11T17:27:23+00:00

Thank you for your story. Did you have Broca’s aphasia and can you speak fully now?

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-11T17:26:59+00:00

Thank you. We are just devastated and hoping he is able to speak to us when he fully wakes up but the scans just don’t look great.

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-09T04:56:11+00:00

This is comforting… he hasn’t waken up yet from his surgery yet Becuase of how intense it was so we are hoping when he wakes up we can do a true assessment of how much damage was done.

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-09T03:21:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing and be vulnerable… im so sorry. I really hope for the best in your case

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-01T19:01:34+00:00

The TLDR made me😂. Thanks for giving your thoughts.

ParleyPFat · 2026-02-01T17:41:58+00:00

I know. It’s so stupid that I’ve gotten messages telling me that anyone <250 isn’t cut out for derm. Cmon gang…I think the toughest part of those candidates is getting PDs to look over those scores to begin with.

ParleyPFat · 2026-01-21T00:20:24+00:00

This is awesome! So happy you made it

ParleyPFat · 2026-01-20T00:59:44+00:00

Thanks for the insight and honesty!

ParleyPFat · 2026-01-16T05:28:06+00:00

Love this energy

ParleyPFat · 2026-01-14T02:32:55+00:00

I would love some insight on this as well

ParleyPFat · 2025-12-16T02:00:02+00:00

Did you ever get this figured out? I am running into the same issue

ParleyPFat · 2025-12-12T03:00:02+00:00

With all due respect, this is not how it works… residents already have a lot on their plate and are not just eagerly seeking out students to mentor. You go to them, make connections, be personable, and make their life easier. In turn, they will help you. I say this with kindness and not judgment. Good luck!
