"They were super rankings obsessed. If USNews ranked them on ANYTHING it made it into their PowerPoint. My faculty interview was also the rudest I’ve ever had.

He also talked down about my activities and spoke accusingly about the number of projected hours I had. (I had completed over half already with everything projected into July)" Report Response
