What impressed you positively?

The students and interviewers were all very friendly. All the students I met seemed happy to be there. Student ambassadors were very helpful. The simulation center and the student modules ("home away from home") are very nice. The 2010 curriculum seems like a positive change (I heard the term "student friendly" said a few times). A lot of development going on around the school.

The construction (which is actually a good thing) can lead to some challenges in driving around the area, but nothing major.

Nothing more than I already knew.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It's already been said before, but it's a two-part interview. The first part is closed file (no grades or MCAT). The second part they have your grades and MCAT. Having a medical student in the interview really eases any tension that you might experience.
