What impressed you positively?
WOW!! Too many things to list...The student tour guides were very friendly and helpful. I felt the interviewers really wanted to get to know me as a person. Everyone I met from the school (students, faculty, interviewers, admin) were extremely enthusiastic about the school. The "GENESIS" curriculum is awesome it combines everything into a systems based approach. The board pass rate is one of the highest for schools (something like 98%). Getting my acceptance letter within 4 days of my interview.

Not much....The location of the school (but compared to many other city medical schools it's not that bad).The lack of housing in the general area of the school. Cost of the school
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The lotto system for determining rotations for the 3rd and 4th years. Dress code for students.
What are your general comments?
I loved UHS!! I felt very comfortable all day and enjoyed the whole experience. My student tour guides were very informative,friendly, and enthusiastic. I got the impression that if you have an interview they really want you and just want to see if you have a personality that fits with their school.
Getting measured for your white coat right before the interview was a real confidence booster. I got the feeling that the school is making an effort to make the medical school experience very special and unique for their students. Because of my great experience with UHS it remains one of my top choices.
