What impressed you positively?

SIM lab, endless opportunities, lots of hospitals, my faculty interview's passion for what he does, ventilation system in the gross lab!

What impressed you negatively?

too large of a tour group, the guide was not a student, didn't see much of the hospital, COST! The guy who talked about curriculum was hardly articulate, and talked too long.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The day would be so long. Starts at 8 am, two hour tour!

What are your general comments?

Pitt was my top choice going into this. I really wish I had met more students during the day. I knew two people there from my college, but that wasn't enough. I met with a student interviewer as well as a faculty one. Neither of them see your grades, scores, etc. and the faculty interviewer gets your essay(s). Everyone was really nice, but by the end of the day at my last meeting, I was beat. My faculty interviewer was in charge of the Methods, Logic, and Medicine, and he was really pumped about it.
