In the interest of not hijacking the interview thread, I thought I would comment on docbiohazard's note that 12 people are applying for path. That sounds like madness! To my knowledge there was 1 student from last year's class at my school and this year I am aware of definitely 4 including me.

Yep... the 12 represents ~5% of the class, which is wacky.

Ok, I think we're up to an n=2 now. 🙂

There are 27(!??!) people viewing the pathology forum right now if that's any indication. I don't remember ever seeing more than 12 or so...

There is 2 out of about 150 at my school. Which is two more than there usually is.

30 would be 10% of the total NATIONWIDE pathology slots. From one school is impossible. Maybe 30 applied, 5 got in.

otherwise gotta call shenanigans.
