What impressed you positively?

Dr. Haight's fatherliness towards the interviewees.

What impressed you negatively?

1. The disorganization of the interview day. 2. The short/unorganized/uninformative tour of the campus. 3. Lack of a clinical/basic sciences education presentation. 4. The cafeteria or lack of. 5. Lack of wireless internet/integration of technology into the curriculum. etc etc

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

When you stay at the Holiday Inn (if you don't have a car, you will be STUCK at the Holiday Inn, without access to food or any real entertainment). And Vallejo is a dead city that is attempting to come back from the grave.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed really well - but I didn't learn much about the school no matter how many questions I asked. No one was willing to talk about the basic science curriculum (except that they have letter grading), no one was willing to address the horrible board pass rates nor how the school controls/sets up a clinical curriculum; the tour was lead by an MSI - who knew NOTHING about the inner workings of a medical education (but in his kindness he did offer to ask someone else and email us) etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
