What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students that were at the school and the passing rate of the USMLE's. Also, the dean of the medical school took the time to meet with and talk to each and every one of the interviewees, very approachable person.

What impressed you negatively?

The distance from the heart of Chicago. Actually in a suburb outside of Chicago, not close to the city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They provided lunch.

What are your general comments?

Overall a very enlightening experience. I did not expect much from the school especially with the stigma of the probationary status, but students and administration made that fear go away. One of the most relaxed interviews I have had.
