What impressed you positively?

Great student camaraderie, very friendly and accessible faculty, medical school and medical center are right next to each other, a lot of research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are a little out-dated but they are working to improve them so that is good enough for me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

You will have either one or two interviews. If you have only one, it does not mean you are considered a better or worse candidate than those with two interviews, it is just based on availability. You will be interviewed by one member of the admissions committee. It was very relaxed and I would recommend interviewing in the morning so you can relax during the tour and lunch.
