What impressed you positively?

How nice everyone was. Both interviewers were so nice. The dean was honest about the medical school. The interviewers wanted to get to know the real you, not to drill you on medical issues and things of the sort. The other interviwees were great also, and there was so much positive energy. There is so much to do at madison! I heard that the warm season is booming with cultural activities, and seems like the quality of life is rich there. There are 3 beaches (pretty good for a midwestern town). Also, as a medical student, you have access to al ot of recreational facilities such as yoga, iceskating, cycling, etc. There are numerous bike paths, especially along the lake. The capitol is near the campus, which is also beautiful. If you want somewhat of a city life, but in a small city, UW is the place to go!

What impressed you negatively?

How cramped the school was (they are constantly building!!!), the lack of parking (but they have a good bus and shuttle system), the numerous one-way streets and the weather (it was quite cold).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that some of the 3rd and 4th yr rotations required you to leave madison for a few weeks to other parts of the state. That's not a bad thing, I just wish you had the option.
