favorite knock from interviews so far
So my favorite knock against me by a residency interviewer so far was within the last 1.5 weeks when I gave a response to an interviewer’s question to which the interviewer responded in a derisive tone, “Didn’t I read that on a fortune cookie? Well, your answer was much cheesier than the fortune cookie.”
The best part is that I was being serious with my answer. Gotta love obnoxious interviewers. Has anyone out there gotten any obnoxious/toxic comments during medical school, graduate school or residency interviews? It’s always nice to share a good laugh about these kinds of things.

I hope you kept your cool, because if I got a comment like that, I would have been really tempted to rip him a new one.

just found your blog a few days ago and since I juuuust got into an mdphd program i of course clicked on your mdphd tab. i have to ask after dr. fortune-cookie’s question, if you’re going into a surgery residency.

iar- welcome to my blog. i think you will get a lot of out of both the “md” and “phd” categories as well in addition to the “md/phd” category. also, thanks for the inquiry into what residency i’m going into but i haven’t revealed that in an effort to stay anonymous.
