What impressed you positively?
Everyone at the school was really nice and seemed to geniunely care about the students. They explained the 4 years very well so you actually walked away understanding what you would be in for in the next few years. The dean was hilarious!
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really... the cost.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That at least one required rotation in the 3rd and 4th years has to be done at a hospital other than NEMC, meaning you will need a car to get there.
What are your general comments?
It was really positive. My first interview lasted about 7 minutes but he was friendly and asked really interesting questions. My second interviewer liked me off the bat and told me he was going to recommend me to the committee. I ended up getting in.
