What impressed you positively?

the elective program is fantastic, we were allowed to sit in on a class, the students (even those not selected as tour guides) seemed very happy and willing to answer questions, the dean seems to be a great person. interview was VERY low stress. they give students laptops, and lectures are videotaped and put online. notes are online, as well, and classrooms are wireless.

What impressed you negatively?

only one room in the medical school building has windows. the classrooms and the floor they're on remind me somewhat of high school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i wish i'd known more about the elective program, and wish i'd known that a cab ride from the airport to the med school costs $45- take the rapid, people!

What are your general comments?

very positive. as stated above, the interview was really just a conversation, and i really felt like he was just trying to get to know me as a person, rather than drilling me on ethical issues, etc. the first interview i've had that hasn't asked the question "why do you want to be a doctor?" case is a great school, but it's extremely expensive.
