Interview Experiences
2 one-on-one interviews and 1 two-on-one interview
really nice resident dinner
Nice limo tour of campuses, somewhat intense interviews with weird ethical scenarios
Interviews in the faculty offices at the Byers Eye Institute. Faculty and residents are close, make fun of each other and being their real selves. Ate burritos next to the chair and PD for lunch, very casual conversations, felt relaxed.
about 7 one on one interviews, dinner the night before, bus tour to different campuses
