    I met with my home PD yesterday. He trained at UPMC and has been in the field for like 40 years now. He actually told me that UF has a good national reputation, apparently a lot of forms of intermittent mandatory ventilation were pioneered at Shands back in the day. I don't know if that...

    I got a good vibe from UF as well. The large number of fellows did make me a little bit wary in terms of having enough procedures to go around, but the folks I spoke to said it wasn't really an issue. Feeling really torn between my top 3 - Ohio State, Indiana University, and University of...

    Same! I'll be honest - I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly very surprised. They definitely jumped way up my list after interview day.

    Just received a 2nd rejection from UPenn for some reason. I get the message, folks.

    Anywhere we can post anonymous impressions of programs? Would be interested to hear about other people's experiences, especially given the unusual nature of this year's interview season.

    I sent thank you emails to places that are in my top 5, saying that I will be ranking them very highly. I also sent individual emails to interviewers if we had some particular connection, even if I am not trying to match there - I mean, they did take the time to read my application and speak to...

    Also interested in this. I emailed to express interest on 9/17 and haven't heard back.
