What impressed you positively?

The location was far better than I could have imagined. The facilities are fantastic. PLUS we got to see Shock/Trauma on the tour!!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. The school's great, and the dean of admissions is extremely personable and funny!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How nice this section of Baltimore is. Also that you have to navigate the campus on your own a bit..they give you individualized directions to your interviews, but it's a good idea to print-out a map of this section of the city.

What are your general comments?

Extremely positive. One of my top choices, even as an out-of-stater. This school has many great aspects, and the students were great. I even sat in on two classes which helped me to appreciate the school's emphasis on using computers in the classroom/lab.
