What impressed you positively?

I like how UIC Med is connected with everything in the medical district, feels awesome

What impressed you negatively?

Atmosphere, the actual med students were pretty great (Super friendly and nice). However, the other interviewees were a bit off (I did not like how they showed everyone's alma matter) and the people managing the actual interview day don't really know how to make the whole thing feel relaxed (Uncomfortable seating, feels like they are always watching you etc...)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing much

What are your general comments?

Maybe I just had a bad day? However, all the other interview days I had at other med schools were super comfortable!
