What impressed you positively?

My faculty interviewer was incredible. The school is really dedicated to serving the underserved. There is a lot of opportunity for international work.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

COST! The students seemed more stressed than many other med schools I have been to. They have very long class hours and are required to do a ''project'' in year 3 (as if med school doesn't have enough work already). They didn't provide hosts or allow you to contact students prior to the interview. The financial aide presentation was only 5 minutes and she almost got out of not telling us what tuition even costed. At a school where a big financial burdened would be placed, I didnt feel confident that the Fin. Aide Office would be helpful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

cost of tuition and cost of living in DC...scary.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

One student interview. very laid back... Another with faculty, also laid back and thought provoking.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Give a more thorough financial aide presentation with cost being a potential downside to the school.
