What impressed you positively?

The students were very enthusiastic about PBL.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't see any of the hospital's facilities on our tour-only classrooms. Also, there was no real organization regarding things beyond the tour and interviews (ie lunch)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the tour is not particularly useful.

What are your general comments?

We met for a tour at noon and were divided into small groups. Interviews were not until 2 so we were told just to hang out or go find lunch until then. My interviewers picked me up in the admissions office and took me to their offices for the interview so the interviews did not quite last an hour although you have the transit time to state your case if you need to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
