How did you prepare for the interview?

talked w/student host, looked at website, sdn.

What impressed you positively?

the curriculum is really great. P/F grading in yr 1&2, but the class averages still remain high. kids are smart and yet social. it incorporates small group learning and students dont spend a lot of time in lecture. hospital facilities are hotel-like & moving towards paperless records. they are building new research facilities and a new first year lecture hall.

What impressed you negatively?

mixed review of the dorms. although its prime lakeside property, there are some drawbacks such as no dorm kitchen, being required to buy a mealplan, & adhere to cafeteria hours.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the panel interview really isnt that bad. its nice to sit back and listen to other people's responses. most of the students here are younger - either straight from college and a portion from the accelerated program w/Northwestern ugrad.

What are your general comments?

the school was impressive, but at the end of the day i didnt feel that it'd match well with me. i still think its a great place. all the students i met were happy w/the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
