What impressed you positively?

The new medical school is very impressive and nice looking. They fixed a lot of the problems encountered over the past year.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital, although very highly ranked, is very confusing to walk around. Even the M4 students still didn't know their way around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Research is highly regarded.

What are your general comments?

There are two interviews. One with a professor (PhD or MD) and the other with a group of 2 students. The first interview is the most important, the second is more relaxing. The whole day was very stress free and the campus is beautiful. Just plan your route ahead of time because there is construction on almost every street of Madison.
