What impressed you positively?

how integrated the med school is with the university hospital, which is bascially right next door. Also, students seems very comforatble with each other. seemed like a tight group.

What impressed you negatively?

location! Newark sucks. But the school is built so that the med school, the hospital, the parking garages and the new dorms are all connected so you never have to leave the building!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviewing faculty member is not part of the admissions committee.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very relaxed. I was pretty nervous going in but the doc I interviewed with was pretty chilled out, and he was on the younger side, so that helped. It was mostly conversational and he didn't grill me on any one thing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
