What impressed you positively?

(1) Size of Jackson Medical Center and testimonies of the students that just recently they saw ''Dengue Fever'' and serious ER cases. (2) The students say that the academic environment is not competitive. (3) The students were happy of their choice to attend UM and were very active people. They also gave us advice to work at having a balanced lifestyle in med school.

What impressed you negatively?

Besides seeing a class in session, I didn't see other students in their normal activities. Also, I didn't see the anatomy lab or the simulation center.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

1 hr-long interviews aren't long at all. Time passed quickly when the interviewer just carried a friendly conversation with me. The interview was not very stressful, but I was nervous because it was my first interview.

It was great!
