Interviews

I got one of the offers for UMKC, but a buddy told me they were totally malignant, and not to bother interviewing. (obviouslly, I'm gonna go anyway

anyone else hear something like that?

i second the notion of not bothering to go to UMKC, that guy really is an ass. He did absolutly NOTHING to make me want to even consider going there. I seriously considered whether or not i would rather not match and try to scramble and wait a year, or put in 5 years with that @#$%^&*. Seems like a easy choice (match or dont match) but once you meet him it is not so easy. Basically i decided that i could suck it up if needed, and that i really did not think i would be going to the very bottom on my rank list (number 16) so i went ahead and put them on the bottom of my rank list. I swear that when my wife and i were getting ready to open my envelope we said "as long as we got 15 or higher we are fine". And that really sucks b/c we really liked kansas city and would not have minded at all living there. I think it would be awesome if people just gave that chairman the finger and nobody fell for his "kiss my ass for a CHANCE to interview" email crap. They also used to put some line in the email that went like
"if you cancel your interview with us we will call and complain to your dean on how unprofessional you are". Now if he will call your dean, I would think that he might even try to call other chairmen to blacklist you. If you are really hurting for interveiws, i guess ya gotta do it, but i hope you have an alternative instead.

Well, after reading your post bonedoc, I called my buddy back up, and he said he'd rather be an ob-gyn resident than an ortho resident at UKMC...needless to say, that settled it for me! figured i should cancel now, rather than having him tell my dean later how unprofessional i am. feels kinda weird to be turning down interviews so early, when i'm psyched just to get one, but with a comment like that...you simply can't argue. think i did the right thing?

After hearing all of these negative comments and nothing positive, I am a bit worried about UMKC. Nevertheless I am going to go on the interview. At this point I just don't feel confident enough to cancel. At worst it could be a good practice interview to polish my answers for the other more important ones! You gotta look on the bright side!!
