What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students and the facilities were impressive and updated. The professors are highly qualified and dedicated. Impressive board scores and match lists. A good place for medical education. I will love to go to school here. Its also very diverse.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school is kind of in the middle of nowhere but that is not such a bad disadvantage. It doesn't have its own teaching hospital but that gives students a wide array of choices for rotations.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is very expensive !!! And be prepared to drive about forty minutes from downtown chicago

What are your general comments?

I got to the school just ontime at 8am in the health sciences building. We sat around for about an hour and the interviews started on time at 9am. I had my first around 9:20am and my second interview at approximately 11am. The Dean came in to greet us a few minutes before lunch and he was amazingly down to earth. I felt really at home. Lunch (which was fantastic) is served at noon or a few minutes after depending on interview session. Finally, we are given a tour of the school afterwards, which takes about 45mins because it is pretty small but nice. It was a pleasant experience and relatively stress-free. I will love there
