What are your general comments?

Applicants generally provided positive feedback about the interview process, highlighting the multiple interview rounds, building tour, and department party. They found the experience engaging and enjoyable, considering it one of the best interviews they had attended.
  • I had about 14 interviews, half hour ones at first and then 15 minute ones in the afternoon. We also received a tour of the building including the clinic and research labs. The night after the interview there was a huge party for the department with free alcohol (which I personally didn't touch). I at first thought this was a test to see if someone would get drunk, but I don't feel that way now as much. It was just a good way to meet the rest of the department. It was an amazing experience; by far the best interview I went on and I went on several!
