Congrats! I was extremely happy with my training at PSU.

Their program is solid and that made the choice a no-brainer for me and my family given that I grew up nearby. Feel blessed that they considered me for the position, TBH.

Thanks!

Anyone else willing to volunteer their info for future applicants?

I can also create an anonymous questionnaire. This is why SDN is successful and has helped so many people like us.

Totally willing to post reviews about places I interviewed at to help future applicants. I would write them in the fellowship reviews thread.

A non-scientific survey regarding those who were successful this year. Hope this helps future applicants. Was limited by surveymonkey in that I could only do ten questions!

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. Valuable information for those applying this cycle.

 

[MaximusD]

Great participation! Nearly 30 responses. Trends already apparent. Hopefully should answer some of the commonly asked questions on this board for the next cycle or two.

Goal should be 40-50 posts for a solid 10-15% representation of the applicant pool.
