What impressed you positively?

the WISER center was cool, Pittsburgh seemed like a nicer city than I thought it would be, the students (the few that we met) were pretty friendly

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

my faculty interviewer was not friendly - not mean, but not friendly, just really bored and apathetic. He basically wrote down everything I said, never really bothering to look at me or show any emotion.

What are your general comments?

I arrived before the admissions office was open and one med student happened to pass me by and she very sweetly talked to me about the school until the office opened - I thought that was really nice of her. The tour was first and the hill is no big deal, though it was freezing the day I went so that wasn't so fun. I also didn't like the fact that the tour is not given by a med student since the tour for me is not about seeing facilities but getting a med student's perspective of the school. After lunch is the med student interview - mine was really chill and funny. The faculty interview was next and I had to walk there...up major hills...in the freezing cold...in a skirt - yah, not so fun. My ears were about to fall off by the time I got to the interview, but I guess if I go to Pittsburgh, I'll have to get used to it. The third interview with the dean is short and really laid-back.
