What impressed you positively?

when I walked into the school, I said, "This is what a medical school should feel like." I had the gut feeling. pass fail system, happy students, ample research opportunities, strong traditions of success.

What impressed you negatively?

Chicago is a beautiful city but horrendously cold. The price.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was really blown away and loved the school. I didn't know you ended up paying more some years with the quarter system. I didn't know how beautiful Chicago was.

What are your general comments?

I really liked the school and everything about my experience. I had the good "gut" feeling about the program and the school in general. It seemed a good fit for me. Even though the curriculum is traditional and the lecture days are long, it's pass fail, so you put in a 9-5 and you're done for the day. I was later accepted and it is definitely one of my tops.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
