How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Starts at 0800 or so. Go to a small room (resident library I think) and sit in on daily morning case report. Once that's done, breakfast is served. PD talks for a bit and shows a brief powerpoint. Chair talks for a few minutes. Interviews start. For some reason, only a few students are pre-selected to interview with both the chair and PD; everyone else is interviewed by two attendings. Not sure if this is random or has something to do with candidate's pre-interview rank order. After interviews, get into bunny suits and are paired up with one resident in the OR. This is totally relaxed and mainly an opportunity for you to ask him/her questions about the program. After about an hour of that, you head back to the little room, have lunch with more residents. Then an optional tour of Tisch, and home for the day. No dinner the night before, and they don't pick up the hotel tab. Report as inappropriate
