What impressed you positively?

These were some of the nicest people I ever met. I was given a one on one tour, talked with the dean, and had two very nice people interview me. The staff walks you through the entire interview day process. Everyone you meet is ready and willing to ask questions. The day was very well structured. The facilities at Mayo are AMAZING and they have the money to back up their students with financial aid.

What impressed you negatively?

Weather is a slight issue, but May is def worth it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Student interview was slightly more formal than I first thought.

What are your general comments?

AWESOME! This was a school where the only thing that comes in front of med students are the patients they are trained to treat.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
