What impressed you positively?

The school is on the rise, my interviewer was great, the hospital was really impressive. The choice of Camden or New Brunswick gives you the flexibility to try new things. Also, if you change your mind later, everyone usually gets a switch to what they want.

What impressed you negatively?

My tour guide kept saying "this is a good school, but it's not the Ivy League."

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you interview on Friday, you only get to see the hospital, not the school.

What are your general comments?

Robert Wood Johnson was great, I really loved it, and I got accepted. My only problem is that I have to go back to revisit the school because I did not get to see it during my interview day. I only have my experience with my interviewer, a tour of the hospital, and a slide show to compare with other schools.
