Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the anatomy lab doesn't smell bad, my faculty interviewer was a really cool person, county is a crazy hospital with all kinds of people, mostly poor, very busy and crazy and as a student (even 1st/2nd yr) you can do "as much as you want" in terms of patient care so it's very hands-on

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

my student interviewer said the students are mostly affluent and with few challenging life experiences, basically snobby rich kids, but that's what the reputation is so i guess it's probably true cause i didn't see any evidence to the contrary

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the student interview would take so damn long, i had planned other stuff to do that day and the last interview being 80 minutes long didn't help

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

the tour guides were both really nice and one of them was very enthusiastic and informative. lunch was very good. nothing too impressive about the school, i actually don't remember much of the experience and it wasn't too long ago, it's just not a match for me
