It is an awesome school and how much student input was valued in all aspects of medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

Lot of construction going on but most will be finished by the time next first year comes in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are changing the curiculum for the incoming class... they have already changed first year from Honors/Pass/Fail to pass/fail and now they are going to restructure first year curriculum to sub-cellular/cellular/organ/person kind of organ-based curriculum in a bottom up approach. They are also moving first years from Berry Hill to the Research building.

What are your general comments?

We started our day at 11. There were 4 other students. We started with financial aid meeting. Then we had our tour and lunch. Then we met with Dr Hoole before proceeding for our interviews. Both the interviews were conversational and very low stress...both were just trying to understand my point of view and my background. A very good experience overall.
