Match Experience
Matched at my #2 choice. Apply broadly and just be yourself during the interview. All the interviews were not bad and I didn't get asked any hard questions. Would recommend doing away rotation. Don't setup your first interview at the school you are really interested in. Def got better at interviewing after couple of interviews.
