What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly. The secretary put me at ease when I first walked in the door. The interviewers were fun to talk with. They're building a brand new hospital. The student tour guide was really fun and friendly. She showed us where all the good cafeterias and coffee stands were! Overall, every student I met looked like they were having a good time.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is not in the best part of town. There also seemed to be some miscommunication between the medical and graduate schools, but it was their first time for both schools to interview students, so I can understand a little bit.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

By walking tour they mean walking tour. Wear shoes that you can trek a mile or two in.

What are your general comments?

Interviews were fun and laid back. Make sure you have questions to ask about the school, etc., because Dr. Case will ask you for questions. They tell you they are not out to make you nervous. And medical school is medical school...you get the same education anywhere else. I wouldn't worry about trying to apply to other schools unless you are bent on going out of state because UMC seemed alright to me!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
