Summary of Experience:
Did not receive secondary; received email asking for explicit ties to Kentucky. I have never been to Kentucky.
Summary of Experience:
Didnt finish app because secondary fee is too damn expensive, would have taken too much effort to pull something out for the secondary, and also yield is too low.
Summary of Experience:
School: 4-4.5/5 Interview: 4.5-5/5
Liked school atmosphere, feeling of city, new hospital and facilities. Seemed to be lacking research opportunities (low NIH funding too). Interview went great, very conversational and connected with interviewer well. Liked how St. Louis connected me with an interviewer that shared my interests and research field.
Summary of Experience:
School: 4.5/5 Interview: 4-4.5/5
School is great, everybody was very friendly and opportunities were plentiful. Facilities were really pleasant and gym was great. Slight hesitation around walking around at night in the city but it is Baltimore, did not feel unsafe around campus though. Both interviews with faculty. First interview went great and connected well with interviewer. Second interview felt alright but interviewer seemed far too agreeable and finished relatively quickly.
Summary of Experience:
First interview invite. 100% acceptance post interview for internationals according to MSAR so hopeful!
School: 3.5/5 Interview: 4.5/5
Really like school and students, pensive about Syracuse and how all the students and interviewees were from New York state. Felt a little out of place. MMI was good except one station, fairly relaxed.
