I just found out there are mixed reviews on SDN about whether second looks are good for you. Can they really hurt in Psychiatry ? Some programs do tell/hint they want the applicants to come and it will be to the applicant's advantage. Some programs say we don't care if you come or not - it will not affect the ranking. I am confused what are the cases when it WOULD hurt.
I honestly want to visit a program i am thinking of ranking #1 - just for myself to see it again, they told they dont' care if you come in or not, won't affect the ranking. I want to see more residents because on my interview day I feel i haven't seen enough and I also have plenty of questions. Should I go anyway?
Another question, what is expected of you during the second look day? Are you supposed to impress them or just to be quiet and talk to residents when there is time? Any ideas? If you are attending rounds or didactics, are you expected to actively participate in them?
