What impressed you positively?
facilities, students/staff seemed very happy and friendly, staff seems very dedicated to the students and making the school great, curriculum, p/f grading, location/climate. Even just looking at their website and the media (photos/videos of match days and white coat ceremonies) you can tell this is a very special place where the staff/admin/students make it an enjoyable atmosphere to attend medical school. acceptance phone call and personalized acceptance letters!
What impressed you negatively?
Not a big deal but if i remember correctly, there was no food vendor/cafeteria/lunch place in the new building. I'd probably pack lunch no matter where I go to save money anyway, but it would be nice to have an eatery/coffee/grab-n-go place in the building as well if you are spending all your time there.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
VERY long interview day - 745am until after 4pm. MMI portion was not as stressful as I thought it would be once it was all said and done...though I might be biased from the acceptance :)

loved the school.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
shorten the interview day
