What impressed you positively?
the facilities are awesome. a lot of the hospital is new, and it seems like there are lots of good opportunities to be trained in a variety of areas of medicine.
What impressed you negatively?
BALTIMORE. just not a very nice city from what i could see. maybe i'm just spoiled from living in dc, but i didnt find the area to be very pleasing at all. also, my tour guide slipped some negative stuff about one of the faculty members we had talked to, which kinda turned me off.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
this is bad...but i didnt know the school was in baltimore until i got the interview invitation. good one. had i known, i probably wouldn't have applied there. and my interviews weren't until the afternoon, which they neglected to tell me, so i spent the night in a hotel thinking that i would start at 9am when i really didnt need to be there till 11-i could have come up that morning and saved $100.
What are your general comments?
i dont know, the place just didnt rub me the right way. the students i talked to said they liked it there, but i don't think i would. apparently students don't really live in the area and everyone commutes in and pays outrageous parking fees. it seems like a pretty good school though, maybe if it was translplanted somewhere else i would have liked it more.
