What impressed you positively?
Students get a ton of clinical exposure compared to other schools. They seem to be way ahead as far as doing procedures when they go on to residency. Everyone I met was super nice.
What impressed you negatively?
The location, watching the same 10 minute video 12 times (no joke).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
When I started to recite lines from the video along with it, I realized I should have brought something to read.
What are your general comments?
NJMS is a great school. I was really impressed with the quality of their clinical education, and the outreach to the community. The amount of clinical exposure is definitely unique among med schools. The actual day wasn't that great. My interview was at 9 and my interviewer was awesome. I felt really relaxed and like he really wanted to get to know me. But when I came back I watched the same video 12 times, then had lunch with the other interviewees (no dean or students), and had a short tour.
