What impressed you positively?
My tour guides were cool and seemed to like the school. Also, the Dean of Admissions was very friendly and welcoming. They are building an entirely new med school facilities building, which will be ready by next Oct. or Jan.
What impressed you negatively?
I would have liked to speak with students other than our tour guides. I randomly talked to some students for a few minutes and asked them why they liked the school, and they didn't seem too enthusiastic about being there. Also, a lot of people I interviewed with were reapplicants and just wanted to get in SOMEWHERE. I also stayed at the Holmes Hotel, which is an inexpensive option, but also feels like I was staying as a patient at the hospital...it was kind of depressing so that and all of the construction across the street may have clouded my impression of the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you stay at the Holmes Hospital Hotel, expect to order in a crappy meal. I did speak to another interviewee that stayed at the Millenium Hotel, about 10 minutes away from campus, and she said it was very nice and the same price as the Holmes Hotel.
What are your general comments?
My interviewer was extremely kind, and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. She didn't ask me questions that were too difficult.
