What impressed you positively?

1. the best tour I've had so far - given by a 4th year who knows a lot and showed us everything - the hospital, the ER, the anatomy lab, the lounge etc. 2. the dean who can clearly talk a blue streak 3. the city environment 4. the emphasis on primary care/being the hospital for the city of Boston 5. students seem ridiculously happy

What impressed you negatively?

1. buildings etc. are a little old 2. cost of living and city environment means there's not much of an on- or off-campus student community

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the emphasis on primary care, the underserved etc.

What are your general comments?

Well my interview was with the Director of Admissions so I was a little nervous. He was very familiar with my file, and his questions were very detailed and "hard-hitting". He was very nice about it though, not an interrogation-type interview, but he did ask many questions that I had to sit in silence for 30 seconds or so to think about.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
