All,
Given the year 2020 has been, I hope all of you are doing well. Certainly the challenges of this year have made this a unique experience for all of us.
Just a few questions for the applicants out there. How do you think this year's changes (no away rotations, virtual interviewing, etc) will affect your application behavior? Will you be applying more broadly than ever? Or perhaps focus mainly on programs you are familiar with and are more local? Do you anticipate "going on" fewer or more interviews? Given the inability to visit, what are the things you are looking at to actually give you a "feel" for the place?
As a team, we are neck deep in trying to give this year's applicants the best experience we can. And while our fellowship interviews and own MS4s have been been a good resource, we thought it might be helpful to case a wider net.
Here's hoping for continued good health to you all and sincere condolences to everyone who has experienced loss throughout this year.
Thanks again.
