What impressed you positively?

The faculty literally memorized my application - all 6 of them. The hospitals and research labs were all interconnected, and interdisciplinary research is common. The students seemed happy, and the professors really know what they are talking about. They impressed me the most.

What impressed you negatively?

Baltimore was freezing, and the general public in the area isn't really friendly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be so cold.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers gave me quite a hard time and pressed me on many scientific problems. I felt grilled. However, I was really impressed with the degree to which they treat their interviewees and how important selecting qualified candidates is to them. The program is really well run and the research done is quite fascinating. The area is not as great though, but that's also one of the traits of this medical school.
