What impressed you positively?

Track program, excellent clinical training, grading and student cooperation, international programs, location in DC, excellent hospital right next door, simulated/robotic patient facilities, overall strength of the program.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Probation status (though it sounded like it had more to do with academic committee structure than anything else that affects students and should be resolved by January), cost (tuition and living in DC). Also didn't get to interact with students very much (not really a negative, just wish we'd gotten more of a feel for the student community).
