read this site, looked over my secondary
What impressed you positively?
not much, student interviewer was nice and they have a nice free clinic
What impressed you negatively?
the faculty interviewer was a real loser, didn't even know my name and thought my middle name was my first name, was falling asleep and was very unfriendly and cold. the students at lunch and giving the tour were unfriendly and weird ,compared with other schools. also this is a place that emphasizes intellectualism for the sake of being an intellectual it seems. a ton of pressure to get a phd in something, even non-science related. also my host was horrendous, left me stranded and was a spoiled little rich girl
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
what a bad area its in, how much they value basic science research and how weird the students were, how little PBL there is
What are your general comments?
a horrible disaster. worst interview experience by far and i've been on a lot of interviews.. just got a cold, unfriendly and weird vibe from many aspects of the school.
