What impressed you positively?

Honestly, although I'm not elegible for financial aid, their information on managing your finances and how to organize yourself and money was really helpful which made me feel they do care about their students, even on simple stuff as their money situation.

What impressed you negatively?

OHHHH THE AWFUL, RIDICULOUS, TRULY OBNOXIOUS DOCTOR WIFE THAT IS WITH YOU ALL THE TIME WITH NO CONECTION WHATSOEVER SINCE SHE NEVER WENT TO MED SCHOOL, IS ONLY THERE COZ SHE HAS NOTHING ELSE TO DO IN HER LIFE BESIDES TALKING ABOUT HOW PERFECT HER FAMILY IS AND ASK YOU STUPID QUESTIONS LIKE, WHERE YOU LIVE? IS THAT A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That parking wasn't free... Duke gave me a free parking pass. Wasn't expensive, it was like $3.85 I think for more than 3 hours but still give out free stuff that always helps ;)

What are your general comments?

Honestly there were so many times I wanted to slap the lady sitting next to us. Except for one in the group we are like 20 years younger than her and we are not married yet, we still have a life of our own, all her conversation was about her husband "my husband is the head doctor of surgery", "my daughter blah", "my son is in college", "we live there", LADY WE DO NOT CARE!!! BORING! Then, she said to ask her questions, well "mmm can you tell me how many pass the Boards?" and her answer was, "I don't really know, but my husband told me all the students are so intelligent and capable to pass any test"!!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
