What impressed you positively?

great carrell system, good education, in-state tuition for out-of-state students a huge plus! high pass rate on USMLE

What impressed you negatively?

didn't see much of the campus (either that or everything really is in only a handful of buildings), ABCD grading scale so students say they worry about getting elusive A's and compare themselves to the others (makes learn the material better, on the other hand), very large, public hospitals (more experience but less pleasant)

orientation, 2 25min interviews, tour, lunch, info session on financial aid, etc, screening of cute 4th year student videos
