Hey everyone,
I currently have 4 interviews on the west coast (and Colorado) scheduled, but I am thinking about cutting them down to 2 in order to save time and money. After reading the forums, it seems Colorado is not as strong as the other programs, so I was thinking about canceling that interview. I also heard the chair was stepping down soon. It's too bad, as it would have been one of my top choices for location. However, I'm more concerned about program at this point.
I'm also tempted to cancel UWash because I've heard negative impressions on this board a couple years back (stressed out residents despite being a good name program) and Seattle is just a really expensive place to live. In other words, I'm more excited about Stanford and OHSU, and less so about Colorado and UWash.
I'd really like to get any last thoughts before I send the emails. On one hand, I feel like this is my opportunity to check as many programs out as possible, but I'm also getting really tired of going on interviews. If I already knew my top 3 programs at this point, I'd go ahead and cancel these other interviews, but I don't, so maybe it is safer to just go and check these other programs out?
