If you are doing a second look at my program, you will not see the program director. You will see me, then go to one of the patient floors and that's it. It's not a second interview.

Dude ...... these PD,s and residents, PC,s are so damn busy . If you go for a 2nd look, wont you be an additional burden to them ! This option of 2nd look is meant specifically for AMG's who have a long ROL and cant choose between programs. If you are one of them.........good.... go for it.
I tried inviting myself for a 2nd look last year..........wasted lot of Dads money on such a useless gesture..........Thats why I dont want you to hurt yourself

Hey, can some more people elaborate on this ? Ive been invited for 2nd looks in 2 interviews. Both by the Program Directors. I dont really feel that I need to look at those hospitals again, but I was gonna go just for "bonus" points by the PDs.
Is that what I should expect, or is it really worth it ?

zrf80, if they invited just a few people for second look and you are interested in the program than you should definiely go. if they invited everyone for second look then ofcourse it can't be that much more helpful but even then i think i would have gone just to increase my chances. Don't worry about what to expect since they are the ones who invited you and ofcourse which means it was feasible for them.
takecare and goodluck.

Ask the PC in the program where you have been invited.
