What impressed you positively?

Students look happy. They do have free time during studying while doing well on Boards Examinations. New classrooms look great. Morgantown is a nice place (#1 dreamtown in the USA, blah, blah...) :) They have a nice parking lot available which is close to school. You have options where to go on clinical rotations (all in WV). The student who I stayed with was a great guy! I was very happy staying with him; MedStay program is amazing! Also, you get a little gift right after your interview. How nice of them!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guides did not have much to tell you. They do not have printed slides of presentations to students before the lecture. Also, they do not have any note-taking service that I find very convenient. You must buy an expensive laptop from school even if you already have one. No info on financial aid at all!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

2-on-1 interview is still manageble. Still I was a little stressed trying to have eye contact with both interviewers.
