What impressed you positively?

Their labs are very nice, but you pay for them. My interviewer was a very impressive person and we basically talked for 50 minutes, good research school (tissue regeneration). Offer MBA/MPH/etc.. “for free.” Brunch was good.

What impressed you negatively?

Their clinics are modest, and a bit outdated. I got the feeling that most of the advanced cases went to post-grads and the staff was a bit under prepared during my interview. It was finals week, but my tour guide got us lost on the way to my one-on-one interview and no students were around the school. The area around the school was a bit urban, thank god the brunch was good.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Pittsburgh isn't an amazing city by any means, but it wouldn't be horrible for four years.

What are your general comments?

Descent school, very expensive. Go to Pitt if you do not have a state school, or it is one of your last options.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
