What impressed you positively?

the awesome location!

What impressed you negatively?

the fact that each of my 3 interviews were at different locations in the city as well as on different days. I had to arrange appointments with each interviewer. Kind of a hassle.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

current first year med students aren't that approachable. they seemed remote and weren't that recepetive to me.

What are your general comments?

It was a different experience, unlike any other interview I've gone to. I'm from out of state and so getting around town was pretty difficult. Be careful when you ask for directions because they can't really inform you. They either don't know because they don't know street names, or they give you incomplete/vague directions that will leave you going in circles. The interviews were pretty chill. The interview with Dr. Izutsu was very helpful/informative since he broke down my application as to how I was granted an interview. He was very direct, and a little dry.
