Review over my AMCAS app, Pitt's

What impressed you positively?

U Pitt was amazing. Situated in the heart of downtown, the medical center spans over the Oakland area and provides state-of-the art facilities, including the WISER simulation center. Also, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The city is remarkable- really affordable and vibrant. I had a great experience.

What impressed you negatively?

The library tour was bit excessive and the history of medicine presentation was a bit dry....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

BRING AN UMBRELLA!

What are your general comments?

The interview was well-organized and followed according to schedule. We started with breakfast and welcome remarks followed by a 2-hr walking tours (LADIES be prepared to WALK in your heels :) After that we met with the director of admissions and heard about how the process works. We were then provided with a presentation about the curriculm. Lunch followed and was hosted by third year medical students. After lunch we had our medical student interviews followed by a faculty interview and evaluation.
