DINO BBQ is awesome
Do you mind sharing stats and complete date ? And congrats.
Agreed. Within those colors are a good amount of stylistic variation for you to pick what you like. Stick to those colors if you can
I would except I already interviewed. Enjoy your time in Syracuse.
I have an interview on Nov. 5th. I don't think I ever entertained the idea of driving for 8 hours from the city to Upstate. lol
Agreed. I flew over and business class Amtrak back. Not so expensive. I used the chase sapphire card points converted Amtrak millage to get the return train ticket--4500 points for regular ticket, 6500 points for business. But the cost of the taxi from syracuse airport to where my student host lived--not far from campus--was almost the same as my train ticket.
I've worn a colored suit blazer to all my interviews thus far and haven't received any negative feedback. You just have to get over the fact that 99.99% of the time you'll be the only one in real color 😉
Not a silly question at all. You'll be giving a class schedule and be told where the M1 or M2's lectures would be held. Then it's your pick. I mostly stayed in M1's two lectures, but I'm sure others have gone to M2's as well. It was very helpful for me to see how the students learn in class for about half an hour. I was recommended by my hosts to go to the Radiology lecture. Glad I listened. Both the students and the teachers seem to be very comfortable with having interviewees coming in and out. So I wasn't shy about it.
It's in the package that you'll receive when you check in. I'd probably PM you, only that what I have is not going to be applicable to your date--it's all different week from week.
Taxi from the airport to somewhere a bit further from campus was about $40 (with 10% student discount offered to me voluntarily by the cab company)+tip. The one that I used was called dependable. 315-422-1000. Maybe give them a call to see if they'll have problem with picking you up early. It was quite expensive for my taste for 10miles of a ride. I would recommend student hosts. Mine were just incredible. I never had to use the taxi again because they gave me rides for the rest of the trip. They also have a pretty good bus system, maybe check their Park and Transit website to see if any of the bus (mostly free) ran pass your hotel.
I did a last minute request and it worked for me. Syracuse was super peaceful at night, so I had no problem. But I think it's all case by case--the timing of scheduling and the comfort level. So far all of my student hosts experiences have been extraordinary. I liked the benefit because I got to know people and I also have very little money left and a long trail to cover.
No worries, I emailed my host directly after picking him off the list provided.
You'll be notified if you need to arrive either around 8 or around 10. I was told to go over at 10am. So it was class/lunch/tour then MMI from 1:30 to 3:30 ish. I actually didn't see another group interviewing earlier that day and my interview group was pretty big (20), big enough that its hard to imagine they organize two of such groups in one day. 's it could be that everyone was interviewing at the same time on a given day. Not sure. They are pretty friendly and open. I wouldn't hesitate to give the office a call.
