What impressed you positively?

Everything. The students and faculty really seemed to be happy at the school. The facilities are impressive, and the area is absolutely beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, except if you can count the bad cafeteria food as being something to whine about!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the day/interviews were going to be so laid-back and conversational.

What are your general comments?

Well the interview started at 10am. You meet the students in the admissions office then you are escorted to a room where you talk to the assistant dean of admissions and financial aid. Then you tour the school and the JCMC with current med students. This is a time to ask anything you can think of. A really fun time. Then I had two interviews and my day was over by 4pm. It was a great day, I was actually sad to be leaving. I wold have stayed if I could have. For those of you that will be future prospective students, you're going to absolutely love the school. Good luck!!
