What are your general comments?

overally i would say it was a good experience. i was impressed by the school and the affiliated hospitals. syracuse seems like a nice town. the interviews themselves were very low stress. the studnet interviewer was a 4th year student now interviewing for orthopedic surgegical residency. funny thing is he barely got into upstate about a week before classes started and nwo he's top10% of class. go figure. the faculty interviewer was a phd and he was very nice, seemed very interested in what i had to say. i was trying so hard to not fall asleep at the end when he was talking about the changes that were being made in the curicculum ( had 3 hour sleep the night before). the changes themselves involve going from the traditional curicculum to a system, organ-based one. but upstate is still very much a traditional medical school
