Whats the general consensus on whether second look gives any advantage for some of the very best IM programs? I know Penn explicitly says they do not, and that one wont meet with the PD. Hopkins did not say anything regarding second looks, or even offer the opportunity to do so, so I was wondering if anyone in the past went and what that was like.

Bro come on. I doubt it. And If a program is gonna rank you lower because you don't take a second look, do you really wanna be there?

I doubt it also. But to answer your question, yes.

No. Doesn't help. Don't waste your money.

Check your Hopkins folder for their thoughts on second looks. Hope that helps.

They don't want to have to waste time taking you around if you're just trying to improve your chances. However, if you really are undecided between 2 programs then do a second look.
