"I know this guy..."
interviewed at a program, ranked it 2nd on his list and is scrambling. He gambles, shows up today at that program, they have one spot unfilled and tell him to return tomorrow for an interview.
so, obviously this program didn't even rank him because he would have matched there.
#1 what do you make of this scenario?
#2 what's a scramble interview like? most are via phone anyway right, so is "in person" an advantage maybe?
#3 will the topic of them not ranking him at all be broached? will they ask where he ranked them even?
(more details, this place fairly routinely doesn't fill. he's a 250ish step1/2 from the caribbean with research pubs)
sure appreciate any input to help the clear the mind before tomorrow's interivew.
good luck all!
