When I interviewed, a few programs offered me the service of people to answer these surveys for me. Sweet perks!
It would take less time for you to just answer the survey than it would for someone else to post them here for you, seriously. I am pretty sure they just want to know what kind of things you find attractive in programs so tha they can provide that info back to the programs. That is basically what the one sent to PDs looked like. Took 5 minutes.

Blah ha ha. Curare you must be wearing this shirt. Your posts don't tend to bring out the best in people.
You should do what George did in an episode of Seinfeld and do exactly the opposite of what you would normally do and then you will get different results.

😕 Huh? I don't understand your aversion to clicking on the link. It's so much faster for everyone.

I am not above helping out a lazy SDNer. Be careful what you ask for though.
