I 2nd UT Southwestern and Mayo, both seemed very strong on my interview day and from what I heard from others. I would also add UT-Memphis as a nice surprise. Barrow wasn't really a surprise .

Didn't interview at GW, but heard a few negatives from others on the trail. On my list there were some "weaker" programs, but I feel they would be considered strong in someone else's eyes and depending on what they're looking for personally.

Not sure if it was only on my interview day, but they grouped all 20-25 of us in a conference room. We sat in this room for about 8 hours, getting pulled out for an interview every 2 hours. The interviews themselves were 3 to 5 interviews to one applicant. Chairman seemed like a dick. Wasn't exactly clear to us on interview day who the PD was. Residents peaced out when asked by the coordinator to give us a tour (one resident did stay behind, she was actually pretty nice and tried to apologize). Some of the faculty did seem like good people and DC is freakin awesome, so you gotta take the good with the bad.
