What impressed you positively?

Everybody was so friendly and the facilities were amazing. Fairly diverse in my opinion

What impressed you negatively?

Absolutely nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be a decent amount of walking around outside during the tour... Ladies might want to wear flats or bring a change of shoes. And def have a coat!

What are your general comments?

Love that interviewers don't know your GPA/MCAT... seems like they really want to truly ascertain whether or not you'll be a good fit

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None that I can think of. Everything was great. Maybe provide us with some information on student orgs and dual degree programs. Also, lunch felt just a tad rushed.
