What impressed you positively?

The facilities were top notch, everything looked brand new, by far better than any of the 12 other school I applied too.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much research going on there. While I could have been very happy there as a medical student, I really wanted to pursue a combined degree program and decided it wasn't for me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interview with a student was not very fun for me, he and I just didn't jive well, I loved research, and he &quot;didn't really like science&quot; I felt very awkward talking to him as I felt we were polar opposites. The interview with the biochem professor went really well, he asked me questions from intro biology and chemistry (see below)
