Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and happy everyone seemed. The students were all saying how stress free and non competitive everyone is. They also said they have a lot of free time to explore their own pursuits outside of medicine. There is also ample time for students to do away rotations in other states and other countries, which is a huge plus for me.

Besides the tuition, nothing really.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was pretty good. It's a long day, starting with a bunch of lectures and seminars about the school. Then, the students join us for lunch and afterwards while we're waiting to get called down. They do a great job at relaxing everyone. I was really nervous going in since it was my first interview, but my interviewer was great at putting me at ease, so by the time my second interview came around, I was much more relaxed. All the people I met were really chill, and personally, I would love to go there.
