Hi there. Interviews are tiring but going well. I've met lots of really great interviewees on the trail. I've been getting asked the same standard questions everywhere, but the stronger research programs ask different, more specific questions about how much time I'll dedicate to research, specific career goals in 5/10yrs etc. I have an interview coming up where the itinerary says 2 people will be interviewing us at a time, which should be interesting....never had that before. How have they been for you?
For UAB, I would email the coordinator again to confirm. When I emailed her right after I got the invite, didn't hear back until I emailed her again about a week after.
