What impressed you positively?

The facilities are brand new and the area is up and coming.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is located in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of cow pastures around it. The surrounding area is full of retirees. You have to drive about a half an hour to reach any semblance of civilization. Also, there is tons of construction going on EVERYWHERE. As you can tell, I wasnt in love with the location. The security was unbelievably tight, they almost didnt let my girlfriend into the school as a guest! The librarian was definitely a strange dude, I dont know if i would get along with him. The school was totally empty and i got an eerie feeling walking around it. I dont like the lack of social contact the students at this school have. My impression is that with PBL, you basically live like a hermit and read all day long. Not exactly what I want my med school experience to be like.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How tight the security was. I wouldnt have brought my girlfriend along because I dont think they treated her right.

What are your general comments?

I was brought into a room with two interviewers who would ask me a question, then busily look down and write on a pad while I answered it. They didnt smile much and I almost felt like I was getting grilled. The questions were easy enough and general since it was a close-file. Basically they ask the same questions to everybody.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
