What impressed you positively?

The students, pretty much everything except the dean. I felt like I could get a quality education there and be happy while doing it.

What impressed you negatively?

the second interviewer (the dean). He asked me two questions at the end of the interview. The rest of the time he was rambling about when he was in school, blah blah blah. Then, he had the nerve to say that he couldn't see that I had a passion for medicine, after he didn't even interview me!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everyone keeps talking about the ghetto... I didn't see any ghetto. Yes, it's in the city, but that doesn't equal ghetto.

What are your general comments?

The first interview was good. Professional. She asked me some standard questions; I answered, which sometimes led to more questions/discussion; then I asked her some questions. The second interview wasn't even an interview. The students were nice and answered whatever questions you had. They seemed happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
