What are your general comments?
The day is all about you. You don't move in a large group as I have in some other interviews. I had both interviews in the morning, then lunch with the tour guides and another applicant and then met with the dean to discuss what happened next. I stayed with a host and then shadowed them in one of their small groups, which was fantastic. There is a very tight community feel and everyone I met was very warm and welcoming. Many students came over to me and introduced themselves and asked me about myself. Overall, I was very impressed with both the students and the school.

What impressed you positively?
I feel like I met half the first year class, everyone was so friendly and genuinely interested in me. Several of the administration staff introduced themselves in passing while I waited for an interview. The medical school building is fantastic. The gym is amazing. I'm really enjoyed learning more about the International Immersion program about half the first years do during their first summer.
What impressed you negatively?
No graduate housing for the medical school. The student body doesn't seem exceptionally diverse. The weather was a bit of a shock!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The day is extremely personalized, so there is very little interaction with other applicants interviewing the same day.
