SDN, reread AMCAS, looked at school website

What impressed you positively?

This school is GREAT!! I liked Pittsburgh and the faculty and admissions office people were so nice. I felt that everyone was really happy they had a chance to meet us. UPMC is huge.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Pittsburgh is COLD in the winter...dress very very warm.

What are your general comments?

A wonderful school. I liked the atmosphere, the UPMC hospitals, and the interviews were so low-key and not stressful. The student interviewer has no information about you and they have a checklist of questions they have to ask you. The faculty interviewer only has your personal statement (which they don't really read too much of), so basically we talked about very relaxed topics such as hobbies, life, Pittsburgh, etc

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
