Lots of current students came to talk to us. At another school I visited they were in intersession working with doctors in the community, so no students were around other than the tour guide.
What impressed you negatively?
Too many candidates for one day, lots of sitting around waiting not knowing when I was going to be called for an interview
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How much it actually costs to go there. It's definitely a decent school, but I don't know if it's worth over 250 grand in loans. Even the tour guide, who loved the school and was supposed to be marketing it, admitted that if our state schools were good and they had programs we liked we should probably go there.
