What impressed you positively?

The hospitals are busy with a large amount of patients. Even though the school is tops in primary care, they have excellent specialty opportunities &amp; make sure that applicants know that.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour amounts to seeing 1 classroom, the library entrance, the museum and the student lounge.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you said you don't mind where your interview is, you can be assigned to an off-site location. They drive you there &amp; bring you back, but it makes for a very long day because you might have to wait til 3:30 to have your interview, and then also wait for another student to interview after you do before you get a ride back to the school.

What are your general comments?

All in all it was a good experience. Every person there (except interviewees!) was easy going &amp; friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
