What impressed you positively?
"Teacher of teachers" mindset - very strong mentorship at Pritzker. The S&D program. The students were VERY nice. One of the best schools for placing physicians in academia (https://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/Fulltext/2015/05000/What_Makes_a_Top_Research_Medical_School__A_Call.20.aspx). Great match list. VERY generous scholarships!
What impressed you negatively?
The surrounding area isn't too great. Hyde Park (where Pritzker resides ) is pretty safe, but if you go further south or west, may run into some more unsafe neighborhoods. Not as bad as Baltimore, MD or St. Louis, MO but you still need to be "street smart" if you're out in the evenings frequently.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
N/A

School is very receptive to letters of interest/intent and update letters (especially from those on the waitlist).
