False Alarm

Alas, my soon-to-be alma mater did not send admissions decisions yesterday (this is precisely why they tell applicants "any time in March" so that you don't get your hopes crushed when there is a delay).  Like you, I am hoping for today so that I can call and email the applicants I interviewed and say COME HERE!

Out last Admissions Committee meeting of the year is next week, so there will be a few additional decisions trickle out.

In the Mail

My school is sending out the first batch of acceptances today!  Good luck everyone.

Interview Madness

My own interview madness, that is!

When I started this blog, I imagined that my own residency interview season would be the perfect time to write a blog for medical school applicants and interviewees.  I envisioned conducting interviews for my medical school's admissions committee while traveling the country for my own interviews all the while sitting on tarmacs updating my blog and reflecting on the irony of sitting on both sides of the interview table.

Needless to say, I've interviewed a lot of medical school applicants, had the good fortune of attending 26 of my own interviews (!!), and in fact, I have done a lot of reflecting on the challenges of being both the interviewer and the interviewee.  The part that is lacking is...the BLOGGING!  And for this, I am sincerely sorry.

More to come soon.  In the meantime, I hope you will find this comment reply helpful.
