Is anyone encountering problems in finding affordable lodging for January interviews in the DC area?
This will be an issue for all interviewing in the month of January especially anywhere around the week of the 20th (inauguration day). Everything will be inflated during the week before, the week of and after the week of inauguration.
I would hope that medical schools would try to reschedule interviews during the days leading up to that date but this may not happen. My advice would be to try to reschedule the interview, however I would hope that adcoms would reschedule all interviews in the DMV area because everything (even student's apartments) are being rented out at over $400 per night and up.
