What impressed you positively?

The facilities are extremely new and high-tech. They have cameras that record the performance of medical students in mock patient interviews/examinations so med students can have constructive criticism about their bedside manner. The faculty and students were very friendly and seemed happy to be there. The school has its own USMLE test center (there are only eight in the nation). Also, the school promotes a non-cutthroat atmosphere whereby students can succeed together rather than worrying about grades too much.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather is bitter cold during the winter, and there isn't too much to do in Toledo (although they do have small jazz clubs, museums, and a zoo).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would like the school so much.

What are your general comments?

I had two interviews that lasted 45 minutes each. They were conversational and extremely low-stress.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
