What impressed you positively?

Boston Medical Center was phenomenal. The facilities at the school were really nice and the campus was beautiful. The student were pretty nice and laid back. Boston is a great city.

It seemed that there was quite a bit of "waiting around" time. The cost of living is VERY high.

How much I would love the school. It was in the middle of my list pre-interview, but my visit to the school definitely moved it up to the top few.

What are your general comments?

Overall, this interview went really well. My interviewer was very easy to talk to, and consequently, my interview took much more the usually alotted 45 minutes. The presentations were all very interesting, and the Dean seemed to really love what he does. All students and faculty seemed to love the school.
