How did you prepare for the interview?

I am from the area so I am familiar with the school

What impressed you positively?

Pitt is cool, the area is full of students, and has a lot going on for those who like sports, cultural stuff, the program is pretty respected too

What impressed you negatively?

I was not really impressed at all with the facilities, the SIM lab although hyped up to be amazing was nothing spectacular in comparison to facilities at NYU, Case, or Buffalo(places I have seen), Board scores were low for part 1, concerns about seeing enough patients

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Pitt is pretty laid back, had breakfast, wrote a lil bit, interviewed, toured the area, had some Q and A and left, overall though, I am from Pittsburgh and they really took some creative liberty in describing Pittsburgh and all the "things" to do, I love pittsburgh too but they really were trying to spin everything into a positive
