What impressed you positively?

Utah is a great school and the students that ate lunch with us and the we saw while we were there were super friendly and helpful. The new facilities that will be done come July 2005 will be awesome for the upcoming class. They have built a five story brand new facility essentially just for the medical students. The research facilities are amazing and the hospitals that are affilliated with utah are very nice and up to date.

What impressed you negatively?

I wasn't to stoked about how far away the anatomy lab is. It is either a very long walk or a short car ride away.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The new facilites. it isn't very advertised that the school is building such nice facilities and that really made a big impression on me once i actually got there for the interview.

What are your general comments?

i was very impressed with the school. i felt that the interviewers really spent a lot of time getting to know me and that they really had a vested interest as me as a person. one of the doctors that i interviewed with spent about 10 minutes after the interview just giving me advice about how to be a good student in medical school and what she feels makes a good doctor. i thought that was great that she would take the time to give me some advice especially with her not knowing if i would get into utah or not.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
