What impressed you positively?
The facilities and the wide array of options for rotations and the proximity of all the hospitals. The friendliness of the students was almost surprising. They were very helpful and encouraging.
What impressed you negatively?
The sheer volume of kids that were there was a bit overwhelming, you really feel like a number. The tour could have been a bit more extensive.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I had pretty fully researched the school so nothing was a big surprise.
What are your general comments?
The committee question really threw me through a loop, and I had a bad mark against me as far as behavioral from my sophomore year. They spent between 5 and 10 minutes of a 30 minute interview on that, which kind of shook me as well. Many kids said that their interview was a conversation, mine wasn't. It was very much an interview, but all said and done, they were friendly and helpful. I walked out not sure how I did, but looking back, I am pretty confident.
