The facilities; Boston; the friendliness of the staff and faculty; how Harvard takes care of its medical students; the opportunities available to Harvard students
What impressed you negatively?
the dorms (I'm a non-trad and haven't lived in dorms for 4 years); the tour did not give much additional information or insight into the school
What are your general comments?
I had 2 faculty interviewers. They were both very friendly and down-to-earth. My first interview lasted over an hour; we got to talking and he wanted to introduce me to some people he knew that had graduated from my college. It was a very low stress experience. You'll also have lots of down-time to explore the area (I went to the library, MEC, and a cafe).
