What impressed you positively?

PBL. Awesome. We sat in on an entire 2 hr PBL session and I can see that it definitely works. I think I would learn VERY well in that enviornment.

What impressed you negatively?

People who weren't scheduled to speak with us kinda stayed away...quiet group of interviewees too, but they were all nice. I don't mind the dress code thing, but some people do.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How awesome the area is. It seems like there's nothing to do, but you just have to find it. There are some very nice shopping malls, a nice movie theater that serves beer and wine, great beaches...on and on...it's not as BFE as people think/say.

What are your general comments?

Arrive at 7:45am. Go through security. They're hard core about it. Better safe than sorry, I guess. Intro speech. There were 10 interviewees total and we interviewed 2 on 1, closed file, in two groups. We had to read an article and summarize it. Piece of cake. Don't sweat it. When I finished my interview we waited for the second group to finish and compared notes. Then went to a full 2 hour PBL session. Each interviewee went to a different session. Very good program they have here. This is really the cornerstone of the school. After PBL, we had lunch with 2 second years who answered questions...very nice. Next we had a very short fin aid talk and a quick tour. Didn't see the cadaver lab because a class was in there, and didn't see the library just 'cause...but it's probably all electronic anyways. Nice new facility, everyone was friendly. Staff/faculty were lighthearted and joking. Great town. Went to the beach the day before. Warm water, kinda like a lightly heated pool. Stayed at Hampton Inn. Very nice also. Overall very good experience. I like this place alot and I'll be very disappointed if they turn me down.
