Being Reclusive

I’m giving a shout out to those of you who are avoiding Internet sites with posts from medical school and residency applicants. Good for you!

Even the most competitive candidates get nervous when they see others boasting about their plethora of interview invites. Who knows if those posts are true? And even if some are, how does reading them change your strategy?

I’m recommending staying offline to keep your nerves under control.
