What impressed you positively?
they seem like they treat their medical students really well. First year is pass/fail... students say there's no competition. And they have much more free time than I would have thought. Also there's so much opportunity to do research. Also, The hospital is connected to the medical school, which is connect to the med student dorms. This makes it convenient.
What impressed you negatively?
Maybe because of winter, but the school and city seemed pretty dead. Also, I did not see many URM's--which is important for me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you stay at Olin hall the night before, know that you have to check out by 11:00am. My interview/tour lasted until 2ish. You can, however, pay to stay longer. Also everything is inside--you don't have to walk outside to get to your interviews.
What are your general comments?
Overall, its hard to judge how the interviews went. It is true about the unstressful interviews. They were very conversational. The interviewers were extremely nice and even walked me to my next session to make sure I got there ok. Also, you practically don't have to pay for any food--I had dinner, breakfast, and lunch all provided to me.
