What impressed you positively?

The third year is the BEST feature and I think it makes Duke superior to almost every other medical school in the country. The opportunities it opens up seem incredible. I can definitely see why its one of the top schools in the country.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, its expensive like most other private schools, but if I had to choose between this expensive set of schools, I would definitely choose Duke over some of its peers and "higher ranked" institutions just because of its third year.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. The Admissions office is one floor BELOW the ground level in the basement of the purple zone.
