Everyone is so excited about U of R! I love that it has such an integrated curriculum, and the students seem to really love it. Everyone was really helpful when I got lost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I know every other person who wrote on here that the hospital numbering was confusing but that is an understatement! I was so lost some times! Don't feel bad to ask for help.
What are your general comments?
All of the interviews were very relaxing and everyone was really excited for us to be there. All the applicants were treated really well. It was a 2 day thing with the 2 closed-file MD interviews on Thursday and the 6 open-file PhD interviews on Friday. Friday was a very long day, and I had to run back and forth between both the med school campus and the undergraduate campus. You might want to wear comfortable shoes.
