What impressed you positively?

how much they have recovered and are coming back after the storm.

What impressed you negatively?

they weren't as warm, welcoming, or friendly as other schools. they didn't try to get to know you by name. the interviewers were great, but the other ''stuff'' (informational sessions and tour) weren't as friendly. we didn't interview with dr. eubanks or dr. mccluggage as were told either. also, (this is dumb, but) the seats were really dusty in the waiting area, where we spent a lot of time; it was really gross to be all dressed up and have to wipe off a seat with your hand (and it turned gray!) before sitting down. also, there was a ton of construction going on (which is good, but), and all you could hear was hammering the whole time (the interviewers weren't pleased with that either).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

it wasn't very friendly and inviting. they made it sound like they are doing great after the storm, but living nearby, i'm not convinced that it will be too great of an experience until a few years later- but im sure it will be a great place to attend med school later!
