Can anyone who IV'd at Penn State provide overall impression of the interview? Going through family crisis and finding it hard to focus on interview prep. Just want to know what to expect < sorry for the family crisis - that's so difficult at any time, but can't imagine going through it right now.

Change my mind: If you have 1 or 2 of the T5, I think it's in your best interest to do IV swaps with folks who have 2+. E.g. 1/6 has Penn/Harvard. 1/13 has NYU/Penn. If they give up the other T5 IV to attend your only T5 IV, they'll probably rank it #1. If they drop your T5 IV, the spot will go to another top applicant. You should want anyone likely to get ranked above you to match at a different T5, so you'll get to match at your only 1. >>yo go enjoy your Friday evening > also this requires way too many conditionals that it's rarely going to work out in the exact way you're describing< gunner smh, why are people here so obsessed with rankings

Not to keep up false hopes but are any programs still giving out actual II's (not just trickles from drops)? Like rumor has it Yale or UPenn maybe? And obviously Mt Sinai hasn't released
