What impressed you positively?

the curriculum

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the interview itself. I felt like the interviewer didn't make an effort to get to know me as a person and didn't seem very interested in what I had to say. On top of this, they told me that I didn't have a good chance because my MCAT and GPA aren't that high. This bothered me because 1) they could have read this on my application before they invited me to the interview, 2) they said during the orientation that "they aren't all about numbers" so this sounded hypocritical. I think they might have just been looking for a justification, so be ready to defend your application. A friend of mine had to explain all of the B's on his transcript.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the area around the campus is not especially safe. the curriculum is amazing and very unique.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

You sit in a conference room and watch a slide show before the tour. The tour takes you all throughout the main building and is very comprehensive. After the tour, each applicant has one 1/2 hour interview, followed by a lunch interview with a student (which I really liked, this was a nice touch).
