What impressed you positively?

the students were so eager to talk about the school, everyone was friendly and helpful

gym and dining hall facilities were very small

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

they are restructuring their curriculum - instead of separate "normal" curriculum and a problem-based curriculum, they are combining the two for the class of 2009.

What are your general comments?

recommended hotel was easy to find and very close to the school. i was nervous simply because this was my first med school interview but there were no tricky questions. everything was straightforward and the tour was given by volunteer med students. it was nice to know when the admissions committee meets and we were told when to expect to hear an answer. however, when i walked into the interview room, it seemed that one of the interviewers was reading my personal statement at that moment so i'm not sure if they had looked over any of my application before the actual interview. tip - assume they haven't so you want to make sure you say what you want them to know about you before the interview is over.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
