For those who are residents/play a part in match process what were the qualities like of top away rotators? Did they have exceptional descriptions, differentials and were able to combine it with being a great team player?
For those who matched derm after doing a research year and felt like you received an exceptional/very strong letter from your PI, what do you think you did during your research year that helped you earn that kind of letter?
Any other general advice for making the most of the research year?
Is it speaking to faculty at other conferences, emailing etc? Does having a very strong letter from a chair at your home program enough to net interviews at other programs given that your stats/app is up to par?
With step 2 averages creeping up Is 260 still the target?
