What impressed you positively?

The school recently changed much of the curriculum. They seem to be really focused on doing everything they can to ensure that they provide the best medical education possible.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the medical students I encountered come off as arrogant.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that lunch would be so short.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a medical school that I would be happy to attend. They seemed focused on continual improvement. There are many new buildings that are being built at the medical center, so it should be pretty nice in a few years.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Make the interview earlier in the day, so that students can relax and be able to focus while they are listening to financial aid information, tours etc. Provide bottled water and other refreshments earlier. Have a break between lunch and the tours so that the applicants can go to the restroom.
