I recently had an interview where I was asked two questions that really caught me off guard.
1.) Are you planning on having a child during residency?
2.) Where do you plan to rank us?
The first question is clearly illegal. I was under the impression that the second question was against the rules of the NRMP and constituted a match violation. Anyways, this was only my second interview so I am wondering how common this is on the trail. I am quite shocked that questions like these ae asked at any interview, much less in such a small field like Rad Onc. I don't care enough to report, but I figure some students would.
Has anyone else encountered anything like this either this year, or in the past?
