What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were great. Their library is the most beautiful one I have every seen. Their hospital is an architectual marvel.
What impressed you negatively?
The medical school is old and looks like it has never been renovated. You also have to walk all over campus to your interviews. Also the medical school is in a really unsafe neighborhood. The students that were giving us a tour were talking about how their friends had been mugged.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Parking is hell, and I couldn't find any good place to eat.
What are your general comments?
The staff is not that enthusiastic. The admissions lady told us that not many people apply and some of the people that apply have really bad mcat scores and some did not even take it yet.
Also when I finally found my first interview I had to wait in the psychiatric ward. That was an experience. The patients took an interest in me and talked to me, when we started a sing a long- the receptionist called me to the back, and told me to that I may feel more comfortable sitting with them. I told her that I didn't mind, but she instructed me to sit with them. (I didn't mean to make them rowdy- I'll talk to anyone) But if you are more timid it might be hard to sit in the psychiatric ward.
