Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The library, lecture halls, common spaces, and how happy and approachable the students were. Plus, everything in Vermont in general just seems to work efficiently/smoothly and people are helpful and pleasant...as opposed to DC, where I live. Just an observation

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Burlingon is dusty because the winds blow up from the lake, I guess...I'm not a meteorologist, clearly. Bring some sunglasses.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you are driving (I had a rental car) you need to get a parking permit from the transportation/parking office near the medical school and then park in a designated visitor spot. This whole production takes about 20-25 minutes, so leave early. I paid $6 for the day.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was interviewed by a clinician in an actual exam room (with an exam table, paper cover, everything) used for teaching. Like I said, it started out like a typical medical school interview and gradually turned into a conversation. BTW, we were both sitting on chairs, don't be alarmed.
