thanks 😉

(i just realized i wrote this message on the first day of iowa interviews) -- i'm going to be there this week! anyone else?
 
Hey Snowinter --

I'll be at IC this Friday. I feel like I don't know much about the program, even after doing my homework on Frieda and APGO. It seems really strong, but their low program completion rate is a red-flag to me.

When will you be there?

I'm excited about this interview and would love to here how it went for the both of you. I'm not interviewing there until January.

Hey -- i'm going to be there this Friday as well! 🙂 am flying out earlllllllllllllly in the AM to chicago on thursday -- and driving to Iowa (that was the best ticket- -but it will be a long day thursday) it's ok though.
havne't done my homework on Iowa yet.

I had my first interview today -- and it was really layed back and relaxed. so all that sleep i lost wasn't worth it. so im now looking forward to more interviews -- instead of being scared of them like before.

see u there wiscbadger

take care,
snow
 
i have a friend that goes to iowa for med school and i asked her about the drop-out/incompletion rate...most of the stories seem rather random and specific to each individual rather than a problem with the department. one of the interns this year is switching to anesthesia. one of the former residents dropped out her 4th year after having a baby. so as i said it seems situational versus people leaving the program because they are unhappy there. according to her the residents have great comraderie and are a pretty tight-knit group. good luck in your interviews
