What impressed you negatively?:

2nd year seems to be more strenuous than 1st year. Location is also somewhat of a negative- Durham seemed a little small for my preferences, although, I am told that the Raleigh-Durham area has 1 million people living there. Report as inappropriate

How was your interview day? Please summarize.:

There is no one schedule on the interview day, as many of the other applicants and I had varying schedules. But, for an idea, first, we had an overview of the program with the program director. Next, we met up with a psychotherapy supervisor who talked with a group of applicants about psychotherapy and answered our questions. Next, we met as a group with another faculty member (Not really an interview) and then on to lunch with the residents. Following lunch, there was a tour. Then I interviewed with both the program director and the chief resident. That evening there was dinner at a local restaurant. The following morning I attended some didactics as it was their protected half day. Report as inappropriate
