What impressed you positively?

The school is absolutely gorgeous. But most importantly, I loved the fact that it's affiliated with 41 separate clinics around Boston, so I'm guaranteed a different patient base when I rotate to a different clinic. Also, all the students were very friendly there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

It was a wonderful day overall. They scheduled the day very nicely.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know that there would be two interviews. One is closed-file with a student, and another is open-file with a faculty. Also, you take a shuttle bus to one of their clinics and have a tour there. I wish my shoes were more comfortable for the walking part.
