HPB

I am under the impression all the invites have probably gone out. However, I would not hesitate to just call the office directly. At this point I have called many programs to check on the status of their invites and I have not once been asked for my name. Just get yourself some relief and call! (That advice is for everyone.)

If you have a friend or acquaintance in the location, perhaps you could crash with them? For me, unless it was possible to get a direct flight from one warm place to another, I would feel nervous about risking it (though even then, you never know where planes are coming from). For example, I recently flew from South Carolina to California, but because it had a stop in DC, the flight was completely cancelled and I couldn't get out till the next day. The thing about being in town early is not really the dinner the night before (thought that's a huge benefit), but the fact that if your flight is cancelled that day, it would mess you up for interview day. If you can, I'd get in early. Congrats on the interview!

Hi all, please feel free to direct me to another thread (can't seem to find one) that addresses this question if it's already been answered - I just received my first interview (YAY!) and in addition to the formal interview in Feb, the POI wants to "chat on the phone" tomorrow. Any tips on what this call might entail and how to best prepare in 24 hours?

Thanks @champangesupernova, and sorry (prob to us both) :/

@champagnesupernova do you know if that is for all divisions? (I am specifically interested in clinical.) Thanks...
