What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasim of the students there. The number of activities that are available to the students. They are very flexible with the students in order to allow them to pursue their own career goals. The staff seemed very laid back and easy to talk to.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that they changed my interview time and failed to inform me. (I had to wait 45 minutes outside the interviewers office.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you know someone who goes to school there, stay with them because campus is huge and a little confusing to find things sometimes.

What are your general comments?

I arrived at 8:30 for my interview at 8:45, but they had changed the time on the interview without telling me, so I had to sit outside her office for another 45 minutes. That was the only bad part of the day however. I interviewed with Dr. McLoon, she teaches anatomy to the 1st years. It took a minute to connect with her, because she likes to talk alot, but she was very nice. The questions she asked were pretty standard though. After the interview there is a short presentation about the school (short but impressive) and then there is a tour that is given by students. Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes, because the med school campus is large and spread out. I didn't have problem but some of the girls in high heels did. After the tour they take you to the cafeteria and you can eat whatever you want. There was quite a bit to choose from so that was good. Overall the experience was good, and I hope I can go to school there.
