went on other interviews

What impressed you positively?

faculty and hospitals are amazing and the students are out of this world. everybody is down to earth, nice, and seemingly normal, but if you get to talking a little more you'll realize everyone is incredibly accomplished.

What impressed you negatively?

the curriculum is a bit odd, not traditional by any means. the students were so-so on it, but i don't really think it's a big deal. if you can get into this school, the curriculum won't be an issue i'm sure.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

no merit based aid to speak of and housing costs are through the roof (save vanderbilt hall). most students that get in here probably get better deals elsewhere.

What are your general comments?

the day is not really structured, you'll have your 2 interviews at some point during the day, a lunch and tour, and that's about it. very few are late in the afternoon, but some other guys had them. if you are concerned about curriculum or anything else read up beforehand and make sure you ask questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
