I absolutely hate Thalamus as a video platform, but the interview itself was good

I've been noticing a big difference in interviews where interviewers have read my app and ones where they haven't. At BNI, everyone was very nice, but almost no one read my app. The one interview where they did went wayyy better. Probably won't end up there, but still a great program

Lack of chemistry. Location. Ponce and MTL had completely different philosophies and visions for the program. It felt like it was in the middle of a cultural transition. Still a phenomenal place, just not high enough on my list that I’ll beat the dozen ppl who rank them 1

"Still a phenomenal place, just not high enough on my list that I’ll beat the dozen ppl who rank them 1" pretty much sums up how I felt about it

What do you mean by different philosophies?

This site is so obsessed with BNI. The majority of ppl who interview there aren't ranking them #1 or probably even top 5.

Ponce was very much science/research oriented looking towards the future and MTL was explicitly the opposite. Seems like they want it both ways, but it's not as simple as starting a tumor research center and saying "look we do science best too." This contradiction was evident in the interviewers as well. It felt a little fractured and I'm going with my gut, not with anonymous internet people.

No one program is best for every person. Its a great program, it just wasn't for me.

Thanks for the answer. I'm applying next year and trying to learn as much as I can about all the different programs given our away situation
