What are your general comments?
There's a dinner with current students at a cool sushi restaurant the night before. There are four interviews during the interview day -- one med school and three md/phd -- which are all about 45 minutes long. All the interviews are really relaxed, especially the med school one. The students take you out for lunch at a nice restaurant as a break from the interviews. Then, at the end of the day, there is a graduate school happy hour where you can hang out and chat some more with the students.

What impressed you positively?
The neighborhood is awesome and the hospitals seemed like a great place for clinical training. Also, there was a lot of relatively new lab space in the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicince and a new 13-story research building is currently under construction. The students seemed enthusiastic about the school and were, on the whole, positive about their experiences there.
What impressed you negatively?
Some of the dorm buildings and education facilities were pretty old; the school is 4 "long" city blocks from the subway
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The construction of the new research building
