At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
Prospectus, Web site, other students, SDN, read my personal statement, all my application material and research work.
What impressed you positively?
Everything. I can't say enough wonderful things about this school. I won't even begin to list them here. Of all the schools I have seen, Harvard is definitely my first choice. Admitted and I will enroll. The PBL is a MAJOR draw and certainly makes me desirous to go North for an education.
What impressed you negatively?
Bostonians can be blunt. I am from the South, so its a culture shock to be up north.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not much. I wish I had known how crowded it was going to be because of the crew races this weekend.
What are your general comments?
Wow. MGH is a great place. The students were awesome. I played a pickup game of bball for a few hours before my interview (the night). I pretty much stayed with a bodybuilder (my student host). Sweet. The kids were down to earth. I have nothing but kind words for this school. This is the strongest medical school in the United States without question and arguably the world.
