Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The amazing facilities (the lights in the children's hospital elevator change colors!), in a good, interesting part of Chicago, I liked that all the facilities were right next to the other graduate schools, the students and faculty both were very friendly. Also, the third-year seems to prepare students very well for clinical practice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The students shrugged off the rather high $145k of grad debt, also the curriculum is not very

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Three interviews: One administrative, one faculty, one student. All were laid back and the time seemed to fly by. I had a bit of down-time between interviews but I think that was a neccessary evil based on the students' schedules. Only my administrative interview was fully open-file; my faculty member had my GPA/MCAT, my personal statement, and my AMCAS activities (but not my transcript); my student interviewer had only my personal statement and AMCAS activities -- no GPA/MCAT. ALl three interviewers had obviously read my file and made some notes in it, which impressed and mildly intimidated me, but overall all three were very relaxed.
