Jman, I'll be interested in hearing your and your wife's thoughts on each of these locations.

I'm thinking a thread will be in order here in the off-topic forums.

Perhaps "A redneck's journey in medical academia?" or "Oh snap, why'd she marry that guy?"

The wifey just got a residency interview at Baylor in Dallas, pretty big deal as its a pretty high up OB/GYN program.

So far:

Asheville, NC
Louisville, KY
Dallas, TX

Craziness.

I've actually got a friend who is in her last year of her OB/GYN residency in Louisville right now, could get some info on the program from her if you want that.

It's interesting that Baylor has medical programs both in Houston and in Dallas, I wasn't aware of that. By the way, 3 interviews already and it's not even October is good, some of the programs don't even make their interview choices until October. Most places will either take their interviewees out to dinner on the night before, or you'll go to a current resident's house to eat the night before, always take advantage of that, it's free food!
 
P4B, where did ya go?

Ary, honestly, that would be awesome if you could dude, it would be much appreciated.

I hear ya on the interviews, she's been told her application is SUPER competitive for her field again and again but the Baylor thing last night kind of got her to realize it herself I think. Apparently as far as OB goes its a pretty big one I guess? Also, we've read about the night before dinners, I'm always down for free food and finding out more about a place, I won't be able to go with her to all of them because of teaching but am gonna hit the ones near some of my favorite THP'ers lol.

If that's the case, I think you're holding the pen wrong.
 
So, nobody with smartphone opinions?

Well, two banterish things now:

1) First paycheck for JUST teaching with no coaching on it was no-where NEAR as bad as anticipated despite losing 7k in coaching stipends! Talking 250.00 higher that we had anticipated, that is HUGE!

2) Wife just got an interview with Scott and White in Temple, TX. Apparently this one is really prestigious? I really have no clue, I just go with what she says lol.

Whoa, freaky little stalker tool you have there. I'll send some hippies right up there.

Seriously though, my office smells like butt sweat and nutella. I'm gonna have to shat in the floor to get the smell out.
