School bulletin, AMCAS application, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Nothing

What impressed you negatively?

The school is not very diverse, admissions and students did not seem very enthusiastic. Besides our tour guides hardly any other med students even acknowledged our presence on campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is a boring culturally isolated school, students don't seem to do much outreach in their community, the dorms suck, looks like undergrad facilities

What are your general comments?

Not very interesting or enticing, the interview was not difficult at all, interviewer knew nothing about me, I don't favor closed file interviews, you seem to just sit there telling them stuff that they should atleast already know. They don't show interest in the diversity issue in their med class. I asked my interviewer about the demographics of the school and why she thought it was as it is, she said because it is an expensive school and minorities might not be able to afford it. Figures that I recieved a letter inviting me to come and have a visit at their minority affairs office on the day of my interview, in the mail when I got home after my interview-imbeciles
