What impressed you positively?

The medical students seemed to be a good group & they were enjoying themselves. The simulation center is pretty cool.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The classrooms are pretty dingy - like the basement of my high school. No audio/visual recording of lectures. The dean of admissions behaved strangely when I met with him.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that they had had a student give the tour. The woman was the wife of a 1st year medical student & couldn't really answer too many questions.

What are your general comments?

I spent the night with an MD/PhD student who was really cool. We talked about a lot of issues and got lost trying to get to his house. On the interview day, we all got there at 9am & had coffee. A woman who worked in the admissions office took us on a tour, which basically consisted of walking through the 4 interconnected hospitals to the simulation center and then back to the admissions office. Then we had lunch at the hospital cafeteria & I had an interview with a student and the asst dean for diversity and then a Ph.D. bioengineer. Then I asked to meet with an MD, cause I wanted to ask about the patient population & they hooked me up with the dean of admissions, who is retired from practice. When I asked him my questions, he was super-disparaging. He doesn't practice anymore, they don't have this department anymore.... The rest of the day was pretty good, but the meeting with him was weird.
