What impressed you positively?

The overall atmosphere. I had my doubts about HU (being that it's a predominately black medical school), but I was totally impressed - my opinion changed completely. The students are extra friendly and they are really close.. kind of like a family type of closeness.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew how great HU is. It is now in direct competition with my previous 'top choice'.

What are your general comments?

Arrived. Checked in. Filled out info sheet. 1st year class sit-in. General Info presentation. Financial aid presentation. Curriculum Presentation. Lunch. Tour. Got to know current students (they are REALLY cool by the way). Interview. Day over.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
