What impressed you positively?

The students were very honest, upbeat, and friendly. The faculty was not intimidating and made me confortable throughout the duration. The pre-clinic was impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

Ann Arbor is great, but the actual school was a pain to get at in terms of parking. No student parking either. The total length of the day was a little much as well.. a few of the presentations could have been given at orientation, or even compressed into emails or other mailings.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had prepared more questions for the students/faculty. There were many opportunities to ask.

What are your general comments?

I was impressed with the school. I really enjoyed the MMIs as they were more conversational than I expected. All the faculty/students participating in the MMIs were great.
