What impressed you positively?

The school's resources are amazing! It's probably the best place ever.

What impressed you negatively?

I can't really think of anything. I was very impressed with everything. It will probably take awhile to get the locations of everything down, especially the way the buildings are connected underground. (I managed to get lost.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known the Metro was going to be single-tracking or else I would have come down the night before and avoided being late. That's nothing foreseeable though.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was unbelievably friendly. It started out with almost three hours of speakers, went on to a tour of the place, and then going through two interviews. In between or after two separate interviews (depending if yours were scheduled back-to-back or not), you needed to go see Security and/or this one administrative officer regarding other paperwork. After everything, they took any and all interested interviewees onto the grounds of Walter Reed to see the medical simulation center, which is an amazing place you simply have to see with your eyes to believe.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
