What impressed you positively?
the student body is diverse and everyone is more than friendly. students seem very happy. the faculty members seem to have a fun side to them (the dean participates in games with the students) school offers students a variety of way to learn (lectures, scribe notes, video lectures, and online lectures). school is close to center city which has many things to do and the train station is within walkable distance. also uses standardized patients.
What impressed you negatively?
SMALL library...can probably fit about 30 students. also lecture hall can hold a max of 170 students even though class size is over 200 (not that big of a deal since not all studnets go to class). tuition is also very expensive
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
nothing
What are your general comments?
the interview day was organized pretty well considering there were about 40 people being interviewed. there are two separate interviews, one with a faculty (30 minutes) and one with a studnet (about 45 minutes). student interview was very relaxed. he was actually tired from partying the night before but we still had a good conversation. lisa, the admissions director was very friendly. there's not much to do within the area of the school. you have to go to the city and the school provides a shuttle to take you there.
