What impressed you positively?
The students at UAB are very nice and friendly. The interviews were not stressful.
What impressed you negatively?
The interviews start at 7:50am. Would have been nice to have them earlier so I could drive the day of the interview.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I think their parking maps are wrong so you may want to check out the parking situation. One of the streets (15th?) is closed as well. I got there early but the staff didnt show up until 7:45am so no need to get their too early.
What are your general comments?
Good experience. If you're from Alabama don't pass up this opportunity. They have also changed their curriculum this year to more organ-based. Oh, and you don't have to do your own cadaver disections so that will reduce your lab time.
