What impressed you positively?

Nothing. Everything good about the school I had known before the interview: great reputation, clinically and especially regarding research, residency opportunities, small class. Oh and the anatomy lab seemed nice and spacious/ventilated.

What impressed you negatively?

If I hadnt heard great things about the school I'd say it stunk. The buildings architecture is so bad that I think I would go crazy in that block of cement sitting on a pole (youll see what I mean when you get there). One of the structures doesnt have any windows except little egg-shaped windows on the corners (its weird). Anyway, the lecture halls are nothing special, neither is the lab. I got the feeling some students wished they went elsewhere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Despite my negative comments that seem superficial, I just didn't get a great feeling from the school. But no matter the aura, the academic opportunities available to students there seem vast.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
