Reviewed my application, ethical questions, info about the school

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything - the students, the facilities, the organization of the whole interview day. There was a collaborative vibe throughout the entire place.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, really - there were no surprises. They gave us an agenda and stuck to it.

What are your general comments?

I underestimated how much I would like the school and the area. Milwaukee was a fun place to explore and the people both at MCW and around the city were all friendly and welcoming. Students seem really happy at MCW. The fact that it is a stand-alone med school is appealing as well - you get the academic environment without the nuisance and distraction of an undergraduate population competing for the same resources.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
