What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff, Rainbow Babies, the program in general.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were not the best (I had just visited Cleveland Clinic the day before, so it wasn't a fair comparison), and I wasn't a big fan of Cleveland.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Started with a talk with the dean (I had trouble staying awake through this), then financial aid and curriculum info sessions, then lunch with students (there were no napkins!!), a tour of the school and hospitals with students, a faculty interview and a student interview. The student interview was closed-file. The faculty interview was open-file, except mine chose not to read it until after the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
