What impressed you positively?

People were friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer had a frown on his face and didn't seem to like my answers. Dining hall was the size of my kitchem. There are 2 buildings for academic study. The hospital is really small. Location is horrible.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The town is so small and run-down. Southern NJ is not a place where I would choose to live, or to study medicine.

What are your general comments?

Interview was short, one professor and one 4th year student. I got an acceptance letter in 3 days. I declined it simply because I didn't like the location of the school AND the fact that the school is so SMALL (95 students in the class). Kennedy system is too small plus they don't have residency programs for the speciality I was looking for. I know that NYCOM is a much better school (I was accepted there as well) simply because of the location and the clinical affliations of NYCOM. Their students consistently get the best specialties and are not limited to just primary care/family practice as most DO schools as UMDNJ-SOM.
