What impressed you positively?

They really went out of their way to make it as stress-free day as possible. I liked the focus on clinical experience, practice, and opportuniteis afforded by the nine local hospitals of which they are the only school to rotate through.

What impressed you negatively?

Detroit is not that great, but it appears that the city is being worked on.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Can't think of anything-- just lots of construction on 94 and one-way streets.

What are your general comments?

I liked the fact that you were not required to hang around the whole day. Most schools will have you show up at 8 or 9 in the morning even if your interview isn't until 10 or 11. Then they cram 10-30 nervous applicants into their waiting room to sweat it out for hours. WSU was not like that. There were only 8 applicants, and the student leading the tour said that this was the biggest tour group that he'd ever led. I was instructed to show up at the time of my interview, so there was not waiting around. Overall, the day was very low-stress and relaxed.
