What impressed you positively?

The medical education building is new and quite attractive. The entire campus is very compact and navigable. Seems like a very convenient place to spend your M1/M2 years. Definitely sold on Boston. The school is definitely expensive, but at least they're honest about it. I actually appreciated the long financial aid presentation and got the sense that they really try to help their accepted students figure out how to finance their educations.

What impressed you negatively?

I had a straight-up stress interview with my first interviewer. He alternately seemed exaggeratedly bored or alarmed. The only thing that I could think was that he was trying to make me super stressed out. In teh end, though, we ended up hitting it off, but I really didn't appreciate the initial feeling of being grilled to death. I felt like the day was a bit too structured, scripted, and long. There was one presentation after another, and it seemed impossible to get any downtime to do something as simple and basic as use the restroom.

What are your general comments?

All in all, not a bad day. I think I got a bit unlucky in terms of my interviewer, but I can see how lots of people would have a very enjoyable experience. I was very impressed with the new medical education building, and I liked the compact layout of the medical center and the location in downtown Boston. I found the admissions staff to be really darling and helpful, but the day was a bit too structured and stilted - maybe it would be wise to take out a presentation or two.
