Interview Experiences
 Fair
very aggressive recruiting,
interviewers knew applicants without looking at files
Awesome residents, some faculty were rather full of themselves and were somewhat less than humble about their program. Overall good vibes however.
10 am presentation/breakfast, tour, lunch, interviews, grand rounds, cocktail reception in evening
4 - 5 one-on-one interviews, one of which is with the residents. Tour of JSEI (which was the best tour I went on).

Program Disadvantages
Driving, driving, and more driving.
Felt malignant, more of an independent environment
amount of driving
LOTS of driving in LA traffic. Two of the hospitals are ~60 miles apart.
LA, moderate driving although not as bad as described elsewhere
extremely busy, brutal first year call, evening lectures, LA is expensive, lots of driving, very malignant program (they'll try to dispel this myth during interview day but don't buy it). Don't get to rotate at JSEI until 3rd year, residents stressed
If you're not interested in working your tail off in residency, you won't like it there.
TON of driving through LA.
Jules Stein is notorious for being malignant
residents are unhappy, fellowship match is all over the place
lots of driving, takes time away from learning
malignant, it's true
OVERRATED. lots of driving, poor didactics, very low autonomy
low autonomy, everyone expected to subspecialize so would not recommend from comprehensive ophthalmologists
faculty can be abrasive, arrogant
residents are unhappy
residents complain about driving, lessening time for learning
malignant faculty
