Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Interviewer was extremely friendly, students were friendly, open and honest, everyone seems to enjoy being there, students entering this fall will likely receive tablet PCs (most of the handouts and supplemental material are online/handed out on floppies -- this year the first years received laptops), integrated curriculum, instead of exam blocks (ie. several exams over the course of many days) students take one exam at the end of every block that encompasses many disciplines -- probably the same amount of work but only one exam.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lecture halls were a bit primitive, new curriculum is a "work in progress", construction won't be finished until sometime in 2005, winter is harsh there, Burlington is very rural, gym and student parking are a bit far from the medical school buildings.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

High tuition, virtually no possibility to gain in-state status, you take USMLE Step I in March or April of your second year, a lot of the new curriculum centers around the use of computers (quizes, grades, lecture notes/handouts, dissecting videos, more) -- one student said you could theoretically complete the entire basic sciences curriculum without ever really going to class except for labs and exams, although that's probably not recommended. Also, laptops are serviced and/or replaced by the school.
