What impressed you positively?

The students are very friendly and seem happy. The hospital is large and rather nice. The ED is currently being renovated. Housing (relatively nice housing within a few blocks of the school) is quite affordable.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. I wasn't happy to hear that old exams are not available to students. Rumors about a lack of exposure to patients during the first two years were addressed, but the answers weren't all that clear.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Who I would be staying with (which medical student) so that I could contact them ahead of time. I wish that I had known something about my interviewers (at least the morning of).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The day started w/ a continental breakfast and coffee/tea. We were greeted by an associate from the Admissions Office and taken to a conference room to discuss the application procedure. Unfortunately, most of the presentation consisted of facts being read off to us, such as how many students applied and were interveiwed over the last few years. We were then taken back to the lobby and interviewed as faculty became available. After two interviews, we met with some students for a quick lunch and tour of the school & hospital. We didn't get to see much, but had the opportunity to ask some more questions.
