Date Question/Comment Responses
11/14/2025 I'm curious how UCSF has 12-13 spots for categorical and 1-2 spots for advanced. How do they decide what the split is going to be, and do they have to commit to a distribution prior to the match?
11/14/2025 Anybody know if HCA Riverside has sent out any invites yet? I'm assuming yes because it's pretty late in the cycle but just wanting to confirm.

Interview Impressions
The following is a compilation of resident and applicant impressions from interview days across programs. Vibes range from highly positive to critical and reflect personal experiences, program culture, workload, and resident support. Many entries mention PDs, APDs, and the social environment. Examples:
- "The residents seem very close—PD supportive and approachable, with strong mentorship and wellness initiatives."
- "Some interview days felt rushed; the PD appeared very busy but approachable, with a strong emphasis on resident education."
- "The social before interviews varied; some programs hosted social moments that enhanced vibe, others felt more formal."
Missed Connections
Missed connections are casual notes about people or events that participants wanted to reconnect with after interview days. This section preserves the spirit of the original discussions about meeting people during the match process.
Vibe Meter
Vibe ratings are collected per program and reflect the overall emotional tone and perceived environment. They range from 1 (toxic) to 5 (energizing). Example entries:
- AL (Birmingham): 1/5
- CA (Los Angeles) UCLA Harbor: 1/5
- MN (Minneapolis) University of Minnesota: 5/5
Average Vibes: 3.5 (rounded). Notes discuss governance, resident happiness, and program support.
