What impressed you positively?

location, location, location! campus is amazing. students are really nice and stopped by randomly to talk to us. the dean is one inspiring person! good matching rates, board pass rates, and awesome rotation sites.

What impressed you negatively?

no complaints except one interviewer was quiet and didnt say much. could be good or bad, just made me a little nervous, but i heard the person is always quiet. close to downtown, but nothing immediately close.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how cold it was and how really close it was to downtown chicago, about 30 minutes

What are your general comments?

great school, great clinical years. good staff and dean. they have a lot of vision for a school that has already done so much in its 100 years or so. if you interview at other schools, the feel you get from CCOM sets it apart. interview was 3 to 1. 1 phd, one student, and one DO. after the interview, we had lunch with med students in the cafeteria. gave us a glimpse of what we'll be eating for the next 4 years. and it was pretty good too! definitely my first choice.
