What impressed you positively?

my interviewer and all the students I met were very pleasant and apparently happy with their choice.

What impressed you negatively?

the hospital architecture-- it felt like a cement tomb. One of our tour guides even mentioned the school rumor that the architect was a drug addict who died before it was completed. Also, that you have to go away for some rotations.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish there was more of a formal orientation session for interviewees. Also, the tour was very short.

What are your general comments?

I think it went well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
