Larrivee Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 So far this year I've interviewed at 3 schools... 2/3 were raining... that sucks!! Especially if the other interview days were sunny. I need everything I can get, where were you sunshine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medgirl08 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Nope! We got snow, dark grey sky and terrible road conditions (well for Vancouver anyways)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premed89 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I clicked the link but it didn't bring me to the right place, from what I could tell anyways... Lol when I saw the thread title I kind of laughed because I just pictured people hearing about it and freaking out My interview day was overcast and crappy, but in my mind, if you perform well, express yourself well, and just be yourself, the interviewers probably won't be thinking about the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Your link wasn't done properly. But if it's the rainy day study that I think it is, then it's been circulated around pm101 quite a bit. I wouldn't draw a causation conclusion from it though.

LostLamb Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 the randomness of the things that people research never ceases to amaze me. i did not look at the article, did they cite any specific grant/funding for this project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 It's not really random. It's researching undergraduate medical education and the admissions process. Tons of research in that field. I'm sure most of you have already seen this study... http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/181/12/933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBP Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think you may have missed a few posts, HBP. Indeed I did. I should add that the effect may not be due only to interviewer mood. It may actually be due to the fact that people interviewing on days with precipitation are in a worse mood. Or, more likely, both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
