What impressed you positively?

Everything about this school: facilities, student body, curriculum, location, etc seemed exceedingly pleasant.

What impressed you negatively?

First year students at lunch did not know ANYTHING about years 2, 3, or 4. That is to say they had no answers about support services, curriculum, clinical opportunities - pretty much, they seemed to be in their own little bubble - which may be good for med school success but is bad for being a visiting applicant resource.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How truly casual the interviews are.

What are your general comments?

Delightful school. I do wish we had had the opportunity to meet with year 3 & 4 students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
