How did you prepare for the interview?

read sdn, look over the pitt catalog

What impressed you positively?

the facilities at pitt are awesome! the students and staff really seem to be enjoying themselves and are extremely helpful the sim lab is great with about 16 sims to practice on

What impressed you negatively?

the city of pittsburgh is dreary for me...coming from a big city, it is hard to imagine myself living there

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing, the 2 hour tour is mostly inside actually, only about 15 minutes are outside so no need for a really heavy coat unless you want to sweat it out in the hospitals. all the hospitals are connected with land bridges

What are your general comments?

i really liked Pitt Med. The curriculum, faculty, and students are wonderful. I would love to go there except I'm not sure about living in PIttsburgh.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
