The view from the top of the anatomy lab

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the MSTP students were anti-social, arrogant personalities that I would not want as my classmates.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The library was our initial meeting point, not the admissions office.

What are your general comments?

The schedule is the usual introduction from the Dean, followed by a financial aid session, then lunch, and then a tour. Some interviewed early while others interviewed later. Those who interviewed later had to stick around all day before their interviews. The N-Judah is not to be trusted, but if you drive, expect to pay upwards of $20 for parking. The $6.50 lunch coupon is cutting it close and for some it was not enough for their sandwich and drink.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
