What impressed you positively?

The new medical school is awesome and tops any other school I've seen so far. I'm sure the facilities are now the best in the country. Dr. Hawkins is great advocate for all the students, particularly the minority students. The students are able to run 5 free clinics (MEDIC) in the city!!

What impressed you negatively?

Students have to do rotations all over WI during their 3rd and 4th year. The presentation made it appear as if students had the option to go all over the state, but in reality there really is no choice. Parking is an issue on campus, but most people live close and walk.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview counts the same as a LOR.

What are your general comments?

I came during a diversity weekend, and was impressed about the time and effort the school had invested in us. We attended the reception on Thursday, and of course the interview on Friday. On friday night we went to a holiday reception, and were invited to a med. school party. On sat. we visited one of their free student-run clinics and participated in a community service project. Overall, I had a great time.
