What impressed you positively?

More time for research in the summer than in other schools i visited - the break is not 4 weeks long!; cheap; the curriculum(themes) is very appealing to my way of learning, and the environment very apt to my way of studying as well; Problem-based learning courses; friendliness and sincerity of people, small class(plus for me) and yet located in a big building that makes it open and free-like. nice clinics

What impressed you negatively?

hard to think of one...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that my interview would be more formal and serious than other interviews i went to. I already got used to laid back environments...

What are your general comments?

The day was by far the most informative day of any other interviews i went on to. I have found the information very useful, not necessarily in regards to UConn itself. Dr. Thibodeau was very sincere and understanding, motivating. Students were nice, and i did not find the rumor of UConn bragging about their board results - rather I saw it in other schools too, and to me it was just a fact that was not stressed as others have felt. Overall, I left satisfied with everything i learned.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
