You seem like you have other interviews. Do you? I bet you were also accepted. Were you? I also think you applied to allopathic schools Did you? - I thought this was an awful way to start the interview. It's out of the scope of what we should have been talking about.

What impressed you negatively?

No clinical research affiliated with the school. nontransparency with COMLEX2 scores - and when I asked about it, they got very defensive. rotations were not near harlem so you have to move in the 3rd and 4th year free clinic run by students isn't even ready yet. they have it in place, but apparently they need to go through some legal documents with lawyers before it could be used. graffiti on the walls outside of the school! how?!

If you interview on a monday, you do not have the opportunity to talk to many students because they are all taking exams
