What impressed you positively?

Just about everything. LSU's facilities are nearly brand new and top notch. All the students seemed very happy and satisfied with their choice to attend LSU. The extensive tour was the best I had at any medical school, and gave me a very good insight to the day to day life at the school. I interviewed with 5 other people and the intimate nature of the interview was a nice change from the large groups I was a part of at other schools. New Orleans is a unique city that is a wonderful place to live. Brand new teaching hospital on the horizon.

What impressed you negatively?

Uncertainty regarding funding and administration of teaching hospitals in the near future.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

LSU is a fantastic school, and you would receive a great education here. The students, faculty, and administration seem to be a happy bunch, and get along very well. For as large as the LSUHSC campus is, the environment seemed very collegial. New Orleans is a one of a kind place that is a truly great place to train to be a physician.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

A few of the directions on the secondary are somewhat vague, but other than that LSU's admissions office is wonderful to deal with.
