💬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

Anyone else got a weirdly vague email from Harbor-UCLA about calling the PD this weekend? Just starts withe the usual "this is a rigorous process" making me feel like it's a rejection, but seems pretty cruel to have someone call and tell them you don't want them...
