What impressed you positively?

The students are very happy to be there and seem really into the school. The hospitals associated with the program are very very good.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm from Cali so it was a tad cold for me, but not that bad :)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that it was going to be so laid-back. It was so nice!

What are your general comments?

The day was very cool and super organized. The student social night the day before the interview was very cool with free food and a student panel. My interviewers (one MD and one student) were good but the MD was a little bit scary. She kinda questioned my grades and abilities and kept asking me if I came to realize that I wasn't cut out for med school what would I do....kinda sucky to answer but oh well. Overall, I was impressed with the school and I am glad I applied.
