Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

As the only med school in Detroit students have access to all of the city's hospitals. This allows Wayne State to provide climical hands on patient experience very early on in the program (most programs there is no clinical experience until the 3rd or 4th year.) Also it appears Wayne is very well respected close 100% of students get there 1st or 2nd choice in placement through the matching program.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Ohhhh Detroit! It is an economically severely depressed region. This has an effect on everything from crime to nightlife to non-insured patients to well you do the math.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Downtown Detroit isn't the best place to stay. Maybe it has had a renewal in prep for the Super Bowl but when I interviewed most people said to stay away from that area and yet that is where my hotel was!
