[Guest]

Anyone can look good on a zoom chat. In person interviews were so critical to filtering out weirdos.

Bump x1000 --> Zoom means you just have to keep it together for 15min at a time.

Anyone else have a weird/malignant interaction in one of the UCLA interview rooms?

Which one?

On interview #20 and I'm happy and frustrated to say that 99% of the people on these zoom meetings would be great co-residents/ I wouldn't even be mad if they got the spot over me. May the best man or woman win!

I agree...there are so many impressive applicants...I am anxious about me matching...because I am just ok...

Interviewed in December, so the rooms may be different, but the research heavy room. Just trying to make rank list. Curious if anyone had a similar experience.

Not here. I loved UCLA, thought it had one of the best cultures of any program I interviewed at.

Same. "Malignant" isn't the right word, but they were definitely critical of my research and intended subspecialty choice. Not in a put you down kind of way, just trying to see how much thought you had put into what you want out of a career, and it ended up being a very thoughtful conversation. I loved everyone there and for as busy as they are clinically they clearly knew their shit research wise

When is the appropriate time to let a program know they are your number 1 rank?

Resident here. Tell us as soon as you genuinely know. Make is obvious you want to come here. We won’t forget, we write down such details. As long as people are honest about this, it can help.
