What impressed you positively?

the stress-free environment, the friendly students. It really seemed like a wonderful place to be a student. All of the students I talked to were happy with their experience.

What impressed you negatively?

the cold weather (i'm from california) and the people in Boston are not very polite...but whatever, anything can be ignored or overlooked for a school like Harvard

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was really stress-free and to my surprise, no down-time between interviews and no ethical questions (I believe other students got some ethical/HMO questions, but my interviewer seemed more interested in finding out a lot about me as a person. If you can get a saturday interview anywhere, I highly recommend it. It seems to go by a lot quicker than weekday interview sessions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
