I was just offered an interview off the waitlist and I want to make travel plans ASAP, but the coordinator is out for the holidays until next Tuesday. Would somebody be able to share the interview details with me? Thanks so much.
The interview starts at 7:30 I believe and is supposed to end by 3. There is a get together at 7 the night before at a local restaurant (but they said in the e-mail that they know it's a busy weekend and understand if you can't make it). There's also a spouse/significant other get together the morning of the interview at approx 7 am if you're bringing someone with you.
You should go if you can. They have an excellent program with an also-excellent spine surgeon as the PD who's really turned the program around into a solid direction. There's a 6-year track if you're research-bound, and they have good labspace/resources for either track.
