What impressed you positively?
the facilities and the people...The learning center is amazing and people are very friendly and helpful. The campus is very safe, and there are elevated walkways between buildings.
What impressed you negatively?
The "blind" interviewer basically had me tell her everything that was in my file anyway...I didn't really care, but they shouldn't call it a blind interview if that's not really the case. A friend of mine interviewed on the same day and had a student interviewer ask her an inappropriate political question. I heard that Dr. Schwartz asked some odd questions but that he was nice.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Bring a pair of flats for the tour....We did a lot of walking, including a visit to the ER of University Hospital.
