No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Three years keeping my ears open during undergrad.

What impressed you positively?

The PBL curriculum encourages cooperation. Teamwork is encouraged. You're expected to study hard on your own to help your team. In exchange you get a fair amount of free time. This is a family-friendly school in all respects.

What impressed you negatively?

Can't see the anatomy lab. Not uncommon.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The parking lot is on the opposite side of the building from the medical school. I already knew they didn't serve lunch.

What are your general comments?

Great experience. Financial problems formerly experienced by the institution appear to be behind them. Although the tuition is high for a state school, you get a great medical school experience in return. Their philosophy is more cooperative than many other schools. Why put your medical students through hell when they learn much more when they're happy?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
