What impressed you positively?

The different research opportunities available and the amount of diversity in chicago.

What impressed you negatively?

The Facilities are kind of old. Also, during the tour, a medical student in an elevator jokingly said, "don't come here." It made me wonder whether the students are happy with their school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That most people desire to do their four years at the chicago campus. I was told that the chicago class was already full.

What are your general comments?

The interview was pretty low stress. The interviewers were pretty nice and they were just trying to get to know the applicants. It was my second interview so I was pretty relaxed and confident. I think the interview went pretty well.
