What impressed you positively?
Students and faculty were out-of-their-way nice
What impressed you negatively?
I had been to Hershey before (for the theme park) so I kinda knew what to expect- but it's very different attending a med school that is not in a city. I thought going there that it would be a positive for me, but after speaking with the students and spending time in the area you really get a sense for how isolated you are.
What are your general comments?
Good experience- I would be happy going here, although the area is a bit isolated.
My first interviewer spent the whole time flipping through my file and asking me questions one by one- it wasn't very conversational at all. He also wasn't able to answer any of my basic questions about the curriculum, which I found strange. My second interview was great- very conversational and relaxed.
