What impressed you positively?

Not much, it's not a bad school and I think it compares extremely well to other pure clinical schools in the midwest, and frankly the nation. Wayne State physicians are well known as earning an excellent education

What impressed you negatively?

I used to live in Detroit and coming back I thought Detroit would be a dump. But it's actually gotten better - abandoned buildings are starting to be town down. That being said...the area right around WSU is not safe and you can't park your car there. The health care system in Detroit is struggling big time and the only successful hospital is Beaumont (a top 20 hospital in the entire nation). But the Detroit area hospitals like Sinai Grace, Hutzel, Detroit Receiving, St. Johns, Harper, are all struggling and it's really sad because Detroit needs good health care in that area. Plus Wayne State is upping their school size to 300, that sure is big!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That if I get in I'll be with 299 other students.

What are your general comments?

The interview was quite good. My interviewer spent the first 10 minutes (10!) going over the interview process, with me asking questions during that time. Then he asked standard questions, he basically fed off of my responses. He definitely knew my file and even pointed out a date discrepancy in one of my extra curricular activites.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
