7/30/07 received 3 interviews so far without letters of recommendation (umich, upitt, galveston)

8/02/07 letters uploaded to VirtualEval

UTMB
Not impressed. Tough interviewers. City is old and shabby. Major construction work everywhere.

UTSW
Very nerdy. Did my research there. Seems to have good reputation among residencies.

UPitt
They really try hard to recruit researchers (dont know how successfully), nice weather/hills, rusty buildings, students must walk up and down huge hill daily

Michigan
Students are diverse and seem happy, p/f for 2 years, college town

Baylor
tmc area is nice, cant tell if students are truly happy, interviewer told me people at bcm are cold/mean, students think they have the best curriculum

Harvard
lives up to its reputation
