Hello all... as you may or may not know, some residency coordinators come onto orthogate to check out what students have been saying about their programs. It's a good way for us to get feedback from those who are not in a position to be criticizing. Your comments can help the coordinator to improve their interview process and understand what's on a student's mind at this point in their training.
With that said, I see a lot of information being posted about what you should and should not do when it comes to interviewing and what you do and don't need in your application. Some of it is right and some of it is just plain wrong (I read somewhere that the 3 digit USMLE score is disregarded by the PD because they only understand the 2 digit?? Definitely not true).
I'm attempting to keep myself anonymous simply because I don't wish to be a sounding board for OUR program, but just to help you out while in a difficult time of your lives. That being said, this is coming from my perspective and every coordinator does things differently. If you're interested in hearing my HONEST opinions based on a few years experience, I'd be happy to give you feedback.
Thanks for reading and best of luck to all of you this interview season.
