What impressed you positively?

The location of the school in new orleans. The students seemed cool. The hospital is RIGHT there across the street from the school

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are the worst i've seen in a medical school. They are getting a new building, but not for a while it seems.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It really seems to make a difference whether you get in or not is if you can have faculty or a student vouch for you. I don't have anyone, so we'll see if it works out.

What are your general comments?

This is the first school i've rated lower than a positive, simply because the facilities were so bad. The building consists of small, cramped hallways, claustrophobia-inducing classrooms, and the tiniest student lounge for a class size of 150. It seems as if Tulane IS accepting students still, just not that many per week. The interviews are really short too. One interviewer was awesome and cared a lot about me, the other spoke about himself and the school the whole time.
