💬 Interview Process

What impressed you positively?

Nice facilities, good research opportunities, friendly students. Location is good, and having the undergrad nearby is nice. Tons of nice hospitals, and decent living options nearby.

What impressed you negatively?

They interview nearly 1100 people for ~150 spots. The interviews don't seem to matter much; the interviewers are not on the adcom and are not your advocates, they just submit a report. Most people are WLed after interview, a few are accepted, and some are rejected. My interviewer was also very strange, and kept looking around the room while I was talking.
