What impressed you positively?

The incredibly friendly and non-competitive atmosphere the school had was impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

The school's facilities seem very limited. However, they did get a 150 million dollar grant to build a new medical school. (It just won't be completed for the entering class of 2003 to benefit from.)

What are your general comments?

The interviews really wern't like a barrage of questions. I had 3 interviews on three different days, one with a student, one with a pathologist, and one with the dean of admissions (Dr. Itsuzu). The first two were really relaxed and layed back. There was no barrage of questions, or real stress. These were simply like a pleasant conversation. The interview with Dr. Itsuzu seemed more stressful. Be prepared to ask a lot of questions. He's really just there to answer questions. However, his answers can be really brief, so conversation doesn't really flow. Be prepared for that.
