READ OVER YOUR AMCAS APPLICATION

What impressed you positively?

The Dean of Admissions was really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The city, how unorganized the interview was, and how expensive the school is. A student told me histology is really difficult and unnecessary. Most other schools don't have a histology course that detailed and long. Taxi driver took advantage of me not knowing where to go. The location is bad and people are rude.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I shouldn't have gone on the interview because the I don't want to live in Boston and the school is outrageously expensive. The school is raising tuition for next year.

What are your general comments?

Breakfast in the morning. Dean's welcome. Then people randomly left for interviews throughout the day. They have a hodge-podge of peole come and speak informally. However, everyone missed a session because they had to leavve for interviews. The interviews should be at the same time so people get to hear all lecture sessions
