Second look weekends for MSTPs are coming up soon! I know that this post is sort of a variation on the how to decide thread (which doesn't need to be rehashed, thanks for the advice!), but any recommendations for how to make the most of these return visits would be much appreciated.
Beyond the questions to ask or information you wish you found out at second look in retrospect, I'd love advice of the pre-move-in nature. I'm assuming most people, like me, will be attending only a couple of second looks at schools where there's a strong possibility they will be moving to in six weeks to three months post-visit for their summer rotation. Please share advice on interviewing with/choosing your potential summer PI for your first rotation, arranging housing for the first year (buy/rent?; plan another pre-move-in visit to finalize arrangments?), and any other things to take care of before the big move that can/should be considered/accomplished at second look!
Thanks in advance.
