Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the students were very enthusiastic, the facilities what I saw of them at least were nice (they are really strict about following the privacy laws so we did not tour the hospitals or anatomy labs). The orientation/information sessions were excellent but would have been better before the interview (the session was after mine)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I drove in to Cleveland through the worst part of town- the "hood" as it is called but even that was not as bad as most cities. Also, a lot of students believe class is totally optional.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

you can do a 5th year for free and essentially get a free joint degree. they have an excellent anatomy MS and an MPH. There is a thesis requirement and my interviewer mentioned a trend toward phasing out lectures and relying almost exclusively on PBL. That makes me wonder what the differences between the Lerner College of Medicine and the University Program will be.
