What impressed you positively?

Everything. The students were amazing. They bent over backwards to make sure you had a stress free interview day and had all your questions answered. They genuinely love their school. Kids were always smiling and saying hi when we were on our tour. There's construction on a new building that will be ready in November 2007. Jefferson has the most graduates of any medical school so you'll have plenty of networking opportunities.

Nothing.

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed with Dr. Zager who was the nicest little lady. It was more of a conversation than an interview. My student interviewer was really helpful and laid back. The interview was basically just me asking him questions.
