Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

They have great stats (board scores & residency match), also sounds like you can do rotations (3rd & 4th year) in a variety of places, so you don't have to live in Erie for all 4 years if you don't want to. I also like their different pathways and if I went there I would hope to do the PBL pathway.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Their over-emphasis on professionalism. I read some comments about this before going and thought maybe it just wasn't a good fit for those people, but now I think they may be right. I don't mind the professional dress code, but they don't allow food or drinks anywhere outside of the cafeteria. That means no WATER during class or in the library!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A little more about Erie, so I could better answer the why Erie question.
