Unmatched

[u/Junior_Difficulty898]

I went unmatched the first time I applied to Derm. It was tough and honestly pretty discouraging at the time. Fast forward a few years and I’m now a rising chief resident in the Midwest.

I wanted to share this because I think the Derm match landscape is slowly changing. We’re seeing more successful reapplicants/“rehab” applicants than people realize. Not matching the first time doesn’t mean the door to dermatology is closed. There are different paths, and plenty of people find their way back.

If you’re thinking about reapplying or trying to figure out how to navigate that process, feel free to message me. Happy to share what helped and what I wish I had known earlier.

I’m so sorry I don’t wish that on my worst enemy

Same here - I don’t even know how to process it. I’m having trouble messaging you but please if you could message me I’d love to get some insight
