Block schedule is great -- you never have to focus on studying for multiple exams at once. Students conveyed the impression that you can have a life outside of school. Gross anatomy is done after the first block. School helps to set up research opportunities during summer after first year. Newly renovated hopsital. Fairly unstructured 4th year.
What impressed you negatively?
Student interviewer did not let me complete my answers. (He seemed determined to get through his list of questions in the allotted time.) Letter-grading system.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
A grat school -- I had no idea how impressed I would be by the students, curriculum, and hospital!.
What are your general comments?
