What are your general comments?
we arrived pretty early and had a paltry breakfast. sylvia led an orientation session that was very informative and helpful, she was super sweet and nice, then we had two hours til lunch. most people had at least one interview. at lunch we talked with some current and former pritzker students, then had an hour long tour. after that we finished up interviews and were free to go. it was a great, stress free day...

What impressed you positively?
everything. the campus was beautiful, i liked how it was intricately connected to the undergrad school, the facilities were great, every student i met was wonderful, the anatomy lab was bright and well-ventilated, the relatively new bslc was high tech, chicago was wonderful, everyone from the admissions staff to the students to the interviewer were sooooo friendly

i'm not so sure about the 8 hours of lecture a day. hyde park is a great area, but the neighboring areas are some of the worst neighborhoods in chicago.
