What impressed you positively?

I'm sure it will seem small to people that can't fall asleep without cars honking in the background, but this place is great. It's got everything one might reasonably expect and has very low prices for housing. Students at the school are very laid-back and friendly.

What are your general comments?

First interview was with an MSII. We went outside and had a really nice conversation. I was asked mostly about myself and my volunteer experiences. I also got to ask the student many questions about the med school. Second interview was with a Ph.D. He kept coming back to the question about what qualities would make me a good doctor. After answering it twice I had trouble coming up with something new for the third time. Tour was given by the students. The admissions person was very informative about their Admissions Committee and how a decision is made. Also got to sit in on a second-year lecture. It was great, the professor was funny and the atmosphere was relaxed. Facilities at the school are also pretty nice.
