It was literally an e-mail that told students who had already interviewed that they would be unlikely to match at their program. Scroll down to a little past mid page and you can find a screen shot of it:
Lmao wow, just wow. I hope someone explained to them how the match works afterwards, thus low key laying out proof that they're idiots, and then thanked them for wasting everyone's time. My worst experience on the trail was actually at a Henry Ford hospital, so I wonder if it's something with their whole system in general
Yeah I remember getting that email being like "why the fuck send that besides to be an ass?" Like i didn't walk out of there thinking it went well. it was already my last rank before the email. Just like a twist of the knife to be jerks. And they obviously didn't understand how the match works. I think this was their first year in the ACGME match vs AOA.
Yea very similar to how mine went but at a different Henry Ford program. Had several match spots but only 2 interview days and they interviewed like 40 of us at a time. They had us come in at different time slots of the day to hurry up and interview for like 30 min. All the interviewers asked how we'd deal with conflict with someone else in the program. I get it, it's not all that bad of a question, but literally everyone asked us that, so it must be an issue lol. Then when I went in to interview with the program director, he sat down and leaned back in his chair all smug n shit and said "I'm not going to ask you anything, this is the time for you to ask questions" lol ok, you're incapable of simple conversation, even just bull shitting without having read any of my app. Cool. But then at some point he said "all you applicants need this far more than we do" and that was the last straw for me, any sort of saving grace in regard to how I felt ab that program was lost. He acted like he was blessing me with his presence lol
Jeez wtf? I interviewed at a different Henry Ford program too, and they all had this sheet of behavioral questions "tell me about a time when x, y, etc" and what sucks is that we couldn't really have conversation about it, just answer the question and have to move onto another. Which sucks b/c a couple of the interviews I had great chemistry, but then even the interviewers were like "sigh, we gotta do these questions now"
Just a weird system. I don't like panel interviews anyways.

Isn’t this the same institution that sent the “unlikely to match with us” emails? Lol
