What impressed you positively?

The energy of the staff and the students. Everyone seemed friendly and lively. They portrayed med school as a fun experience. The food was good too! Plus, the campus is far from downtown Chicago which is a good thing because there are not too many distractions in M1, M2 years. Matching rates are pretty high too.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

My first interview went really well. I not only answered my interviewer's questions to the best of my abilities, but I could also joke with that person. The second interview, in my opinion, didn't go so well. The interviewer seemed cold and didn't really care about who I am.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
