When a program is either 2 or 3 yrs depending on if you want to do masters or not, do we usually have to decide that before starting or during the program you can just do one more year to get the masters?

Does anyone know if UW is having issues with funding? I heard something about this through word of mouth but I'm not sure. I don't want to consider a program that has the possibility of shutting down...

you are very correct. The school is having major problems. Also look up funding problems with their peds dept from a few years ago

Some feedback I received that was interesting to think about...

Make sure ur background is clean and not distracting. Attention should be on you and only you.. don’t give them anything to judge you subconsciously for nor look at randomly when you’re answering questions

Weird but.. look at the camera so it looks like ur actually looking at them. Not the screen. Or it looks like you're reading off notes on the screen. I found this the most difficult part, consistently smiling at the black dot on the top of my labtop

Have a glass of water nearby.. realized that my throat dried up from just answering a few questions and started slurring my words.. That anxiety fight or flight response slow down that salivation. Even use this 3 second sip to think about the question. If u want to think about the question some more without saying give me a second please, say the zoom audio was bad, could you please say that again. Thank you

Do a mock with faculty and a friend via Zoom so they can point off random things u don’t realize you’re doing via Zoom

Zoom meetings feel so impersonal... hard to get them to relate to you. They are so tired from interviewing all day. So smile a lot, speak in an upbeat tone and try to liven up the mood. Thank them for inviting you

Try to have more of a conversation with them at the end when asking questions by adding to the answer they gave to your question and possibly humble brag about some qualities you weren’t able to speak about cuz they didn’t ask

In the end, I personally feel like the interviews are very based off of the person interviewing you, and with that said, GOODLUCK!

So are the questions asked like too much ortho based or more of generic ones about our past experiences and journey?

I didn't get the email from her for a few days after the call, I definitely had the same feelings... I think it took 2 days before I got it? Don't worry, it's coming.

I think most places wouldn't expect you to answer Ortho treatment specific questions, unless they're trying to throw you off. They can't really expect you to know much, that's why you're applying to residency, but they might ask why you want to do Ortho.
Typically I would expect more questions relating to your resume and background experiences.
 
Looking to switch an October 22nd Stony Brook Interview if anyone has either of the other dates offered
 
I'm kinda starting to see the silver lining with these zoom interviews. Although I think it would be easier to make a good impression in person, with Zoom I was able to get two interviews scheduled on the same day with two different schools. We're also saving lots of money. But it be fun to go see the cities and the programs themselves in person.. So yeah, pros and cons I guess. Strange times.

I also think schools' rank order list of interviewees will dip further down their list than previous years.

Has anyone else interviewed at a school that had a "Written Questions Clinic" component and if so, what should I expect?
 
Is there anyone who is scheduled for NYU interview heard from them about detailed interview schedule?

I'm not so sure about that, because I know some schools are interviewing a lot more people this year than they have in previous years.
