What impressed you positively?

Very Friendly atmosphere, other schools had a good atmosphere but this was just different, more home like. OSU medical center is state of the art, very impressed. Free laptop bags!! woo hoo

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, out of state tuition is very high. Easy to get residency though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Make sure you have questions to ask during the intro speech about curriculum and the area. Lots to take in, but try to ask something intelligent

What are your general comments?

Started of at 10:30 with an 1.5 hour talk by the dean of admissions about the school. CUrriculum, research opportunities, and columbus life. Then the financial aid talk. Then a talk by a professor. Then a 4th year talked. Lots of listening, and asking questions until 12:30 or so. Then 1st and 2nd years came and gave us a tour. THis was the most helpfull time for me because I was able to ask things that you cant ask a professor in the group. Students were very friendly and seems like a big party school even for the med students. Very laid back. Then came back at 1:45 and had interview after the tour. I was very impressed with it all. The interview was so laid back, no hard questions. A couple ethical ones, but was really fun talking to the doctor.
