Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Absolutely everything. The students were fantastic. The admissions office staff were very kind and helpful. The facilities impressed me as well even though I had heard otherwise. Also, go to the coffee hour they have the night before the interview. I learned so much from chatting with two 2nd year med students. I am now two days away from starting school here and couldn't be more excited.
