❌1. The chair asked some interesting political questions during the interview. Overall most faculty very nice though.

Got secondary but no invite gang rise up :( Secondary but no interview x3

Mar 23

looks like it's going to be a busy day today << STILL at no interview invites besides home and im getting really fucking frustrated.

Mar 23

I'm still waiting for home so I can have 1 :( << Hang in there it is really still early

Mar 23

in the nicest way possible to say this, I don’t know if its totally accurate to say its "still really early" at this point. not that it means that a most of IVs have gone out because they haven't, but a solid number have << 60% of derm spots have not been offered yet.

Mar 23

I would argue that 40% of spots having come out does not = "still REALLY early" << While that is a large proportion of interview invites, I embraced the still early perspective since fauclty and residents keep saying that. They say every year we try to act like everything is happening way earlier than the previous years, but it is not. So we still have time before freaking out

Mar 23

<< done, check above << I'm impressed
