What impressed you positively?

Excellent facilities, gorgeous hospital and location of school! Organ-based curriculum with pbl sounds great. Students are very friendly and enthusiastic.

What impressed you negatively?

Day starts super early! Really expensive. They don't have student housing, so you're forced to find an apt in the most expensive neighborhood in Chicago.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much

What are your general comments?

Long day. Begins with orientation. Then you have three hour block for individual interview with dean, panel interview, and downtime. You get a chance to talk with your panel beforehand so you're more comfortable together. Lunch and tour with 1st year med students follows. Then, an explanation of the curriculum and reception end the day. They have plenty of food fyi! They have breakfast if you're running late!
