the clinical experience, the long and organized schedule of events, the willingness of med students to help/answer questions

What impressed you negatively?

day was a little long, there is really no campus since it is right in the city

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the school is right in the middle of the city, interviews were pretty short

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview experience was pretty good. The applicants seemed a little competitive. The lunch was not that great, and they only had soda as beverages. The student presentations were very good and informative. The student interview was extremely laid back and relaxed. The whole day dragged on a little too long.
