What impressed you positively?

As of 2019, they just opened up a brand new building for their medical school. The Banner Hospital also has a whole new set of buildings that just opened up in the last year or two, so overall the med school and hospital facilities are brand new and super nice. Also, the students here are very laid back and collaborative. Lectures are mostly optional, there are a few required things each week. My student host was amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

Tucson is a weird place. Also, from what I've read, the Step scores are a little lower here than in other places.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This was my first MMI, so I guess I wish I knew what question types I would get. There weren't really any ethical scenarios which I had prepped for. They were more scenario-based or normal type interview questions.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was very impressed by the students here and their brand new facilities. I'd be happy to go here.
