What impressed you positively?

Students seemed REALLY enthusiastic and the lecture hall was nice and updated

What impressed you negatively?

Get ready for the list: 1) The location stinks and you MUST have a car 2) My interviewer was sexist and anti-semitic. He told me that &quot;dermatology is for Jewish American Princesses&quot; and that &quot;RWJ had to increase its class size to accomodate for female doctors who weren't willing to work as much full time.&quot; 3) The interviewer said that I was arrogant for not applying to UMDNJ in Newark 4) The hospitals are not on campus 5) I had to wait 3.5 hours for my interview and drive to an off campus location 6) My interview was constantly interrupted by the Dr. that I was interviewing with taking phone calls. 7) It seemed like way too much of a sales pitch rather than the staff being honest 8) the list goes on and frankly, I'm getting pissed off just typing about it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
