What impressed you positively?
The students seem to like it there. I was very impressed by their graduate placements and opportunities re dual degree and intl health. Lunch was great! The student lounge area was so busy. New Brunswick has a lot of bars, restaraunts etc.
What impressed you negatively?
Almost all the classes are taught via power pt which personally, puts me to sleep. Heard cafeteria food isnt so hot. (I guess thats why they cater our lunch:) Heard that many ppl dont go to class- but this is something at all med schools that bugs me...I really wish I had a chance to see the hospital! Everyone says its really great but I wanted to see the classes and med school bldg too.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
You definitely need a car if you go here.
What are your general comments?
My interview was really good. The dr. was really interested in culturally competent care and though she threw tough ethical q's at me that stumped me for a couple of moments, she seemed to be helping me through it as well. She was very open and mentioned that she would recommend my application. (which after all these out-of-the-blue q's was a big relief!)
