websites, friends, reading, soul searching

What impressed you positively?

they made a point about protecting their students, and it did seem the students spoke up and were heard within the school

What impressed you negatively?

My interviews had some bizarre moments. The second was relaxed and collegial, but with some odd questions (see above). The first was rough (I was warned I drew a tough one), though I actually appreciated his candor. Gave me a chance to defend myself.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Clerkships all over the state in 3rd and 4th years. Tons of construction that will be ongoing for many years, though from the med students' point of view, the worst may be over in 2005, after which the facilities will be outstanding.

What are your general comments?

Very much what I expected. If only all med schools protected their students from brutal hours and work loads and enormous debts. UNC does this while still being top 20.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
