SDN and UIC website

What impressed you positively?

Great network of hospitals. 3rd and 4th years are able to see a diverse demographic of patients by working hospitals that range from large indegin hospitals such as Cook County to small private hospitals to University hospitals. The anatomy lab is on the top floor with a view of the Chicago skyline. Brand new research facility. Chicago is a great city.

What impressed you negatively?

Anatomy room is kind of cramped. Some days, students are stuck in class ALL DAY LONG.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there are 2 parking garages and that one is really close to the school and one if far away (I parked in the one that is 6 to 7 blocks from UIC)

What are your general comments?

The interview was very laid back. I met with an admin, 2 med students, and a MD. All of the interviews were one on one. One of the med students was an M2 the other an M4. The interview with the med students was extremely, extremely laid back. All of the questions they asked me were nonacademic. The MD and Admin were also very pleasant. The school was great and the interview was low stress.
