Yeah I read the same thing, that's pretty nuts. I am sure each program (and not just UNC) is seeing a record number of applications. I wonder if this across all surgical specialties or just Urology.In my medical school (private, top20), class size ~100, in prior years there was usually one or at most two students applying into Urology. This year we have 4! And from talking to other students on aways, the bigger state medical schools have a ridiculous amount of students applying in Urology as well. I don't know how, but suddenly Urology has become the new "it" specialty. Anybody else have similar experiences? Regardless, good luck during this competitive season.
Rejection received via ERAS this morning.
