What impressed you positively?

There are so many programs for people interested in community-based medicine and public health. Primary care is taken seriously, and students get a chance to practice their clinical skills during community weeks at primary care sites during the first and second years. Chapel Hill is a great area, and there are so many other types of people- it's not all medical students- you have the whole university at your fingertips.

What impressed you negatively?

My tourguide. He was a little over the top selling the place instead of just relaxing into it and getting to know the applicants and their specific questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school has a great program for people interested in working with the Latino community- it's called Campos, and you test into it, and get priority for clinical opportunities at sites where there are many Spanish-speakers.

What are your general comments?

The day begins early, at 7:30 or so in the news admissions building, which is pretty nice. All applicants are shown to a reception area/waiting room where they can hang out, read about the school, and even browse a database of the faculty interviewers. The interviews are in the morning and the afternoon, depending on your schedule, and the interviewers come to get you. I had one faculty interviewer, and one medical student interviewer. Mid-day, medical students take you on a tour, and have lunch with you to answer any questions you have. Day ends pretty early, and overall is very laid back.
