What impressed you positively?

The interview. I had a PhD and an MD, and the interview was very conversational and not stressful at all.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities: it didn't seem like there were many places to study. No info on financial aid. Also, we just walked a lot on the tour without seeing much of anything, not the anatomy labs, no lecture halls...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, and at first I didn't have any strong feelings either way, but as I interviewed at other schools this experience moved further and further down the list. There isn't much to the day: a brief intro about the 3 campuses, a tour, and the interview. No overview of the curriculum, no info on financial aid, not much of anything. I simply wasn't impressed. The interview itself was fine, very conversational. I suppose I would have gone there if I hadn't gotten in anywhere else, but thankfully that is not the case.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
