Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

None; the interview was closed-file, so I largely got to dictate the pace and scope of the discussion. Most of the formal questions were layups I'd seen at other interviews or read about on this site from other schools...

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are new and really really nice! Also the faculty and students really interact closely; the student-centered approach is best reflected in their new Double Helix curriculum, which is constantly being revised based on student comments.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Rochester seems kind of boring.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are closed-file; all the interviewer sees regarding me is where I went to school, and my 4 most significant volunteer/extracurricular experiences (which you write down and hand to them before your interview).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I didn't think I'd like U of R as much as I did. The students and administration seem to get along much better, and interacted much more closely than I'd seen at any other of the medical schools I've visited. Also they're pass-fail so that reduces the stress inevitable in the first few years of medical school. It's a good school!
