💬1. Interview was relatively conversational and nice compared to other interviews. Nice faculty, seem to be getting several new attendings who just completed residency (good culture?). Residents seem chill and nice. Amazing place to live, but high COL. > residents cold and awkward

I have UCLA on 1/15 and am really really hoping to switch to 1/8 due to the scheduling disaster that is my couples match. If anyone is interested please text me 516-244-7810. I am willing to cover the cost of changed flights etc or even try to help swap dates for another interview you need a swap for. PPS I know I'm not supposed to post about this here, but I'm desperate lol! Thank you all for being so nice and understanding!
