What impressed you positively?

The open-hearted feel of the students from the M1 to M4. They expressed a sincere belief that UMSOM is for them, despite their individual struggles. The facilities are quite nice...library, hospital, PODS, etc..

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing negatively impressed me. Both of my interviewers were late, but they do have real jobs. :-) Oh! The lunch is a small sandwich and chips. Make sure you know your individual eating habits.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing surprising. The library closes at 10:30pm during the week. Not necessarily bad if you study in other venues or if you don't like to keep long hours.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I arrived at 10:30am. Make sure that you inquire about when your interviews are scheduled. They may alleviate the problem of having to wait until the orientation at 11am. After the orientation where we were introduced to an affable member of the admissions committee, Dr. Foxwell. We had lunch with myriad of students from the first to fourth years. They gravitated to specific spots in the room to sit and chat. Very informal. The M4s took us on the tour of the facilities. My interviews were scheduled in the afternoon, so I proceeded to them afterwards. If you've already had your interview, you are free to leave or mingle.
