What impressed you positively?

The happiness of the students. Hands-down the least stressed, coolest, and most fun loving med students I met in my interviews. Jackson Memorial Hospital, its "inner city" quality. The availability of research opportunities. Hinkley.

What impressed you negatively?

Med student facilities are a little dingy. That horrible black-walled workout room!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How horrible traffic is on the way down to the campus. I got there in the nick of time. And how much I want to be accepted here.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was great. Dr. Hinkley is warm and entertaining, the hospital is fun to see, and my interviewer was funny, cool, and very relaxed. I felt like he was trying to bring out my interest in the school and my stronger points in our conversation.
