What impressed you positively?
The program, in terms of the amount of clinical exposure, was very appealing. You basically can start the first day of school. The faculty and student body were extremely enthusiastic and happy to be there. The city of Newark is a great place to learn medicine in the sense that you will see a wide variety of cases.
What impressed you negatively?
Although Newark is getting better, the school is in area that is a little intense. The interview day was not well organized. I basically got there, took my tour with students, had my interview, and left. There was no information session...not even a packet of information regarding their program, financial aid, life around Newark, etc. Also, not that it would be that big of a deal, the medical science building is extremely old and "dark". I was a little concerned about this because you do spend a lot of time at the school during your first two years.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That it would take me about an hour to find a spot in the parking lot.
What are your general comments?
Overall, the interview was very relaxed and a great experience. My interviewer just wanted to get to know me and my interests...he only asked me one medically related question.
