everyone seemed very NORMAL. several of the MD/PhD students had families and seemed to be coping well. the people were all very nice and genuine. i really liked the location of the campus and its setup. the director of the MD/PhD program was very committed to the program and the students. the students were all very happy at the u of maryland.
What impressed you negatively?
the tourguide was a fourth year medical student who didn't know his way around...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
i wish i would've known we had to walk around to all the interviews by ourselves, i would've studied the map a little better! by the second day it wasn't a problem.
What are your general comments?
this was a two day experience of 4 interviews total: 2 medical school interviews and 2 MD/PhD interviews, split up into two separate days. each interview was one hour (which i thought was a bit long). also included in the days were lab visits and lunch with MD and MD/PhD students. at night we went out to dinner with some MD/PhD students, which provided a laid-back atmosphere in which we could ask questions and get honest answers.
