Compiled all my personal stories, read up on healthcare, ethics, news...

the interviewer...we both had gone to governor's school and competed in forensics...he was very reasonable and candid, didn't try to hide anythign about the corruption scandal and gave a lot of sound advice about getting my undergrad research published

What impressed you negatively?

the facilities, newark is really the shitters, the tour guide didn't seem too bright,

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are no formalized international programs offered by NJ Med.

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was completely no stress, he basically told me i had gotten in and tried to sell teh school to me...with that said he wasn't disingenuous at all and highlighted some of the new research facilities that were being built (Neurology and ID are the top departments at NJ Med), he also illuminated the amount of community interaction that students can get involved in and how this really does enhance one's medical education.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
