What impressed you positively?

The AMAZING expansion projects currently going on (including expansion of the med library, simulated exam rooms, and Project One). I was also very impressed with the responsiveness of the administration to the students. The friendliness of everyone there (students, faculty, and admissions office) made a positive impression on me as well.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are two interviews, neither of which have a rigid time restriction. Both are one-on-one. One is with a faculty member, one with a current med student. Both interviews are equally important, but the student interview is designed to be more relaxed than the faculty interview.
