Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Learning facilities are new and really nice. I liked the carrells they have for the students. Students were friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Both interviewers talked inappropriately about my race which was a real turnoff. One interviewer asked me about Mayo Clinic (where my parents work) and said, "Oh, is Mayo Clinic an HMO?" Olin hall was horrible. I slept terribly and I cannot imagine living here as a student.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I liked the school and the students but both interviewers commenting about my race in inappropriate ways REALLY left me feeling negatively about the school (or at least the selection/training of their interviewers). I have heard that 2nd years are extremely stressed because only 1st year is P/F.
