What impressed you positively?
The nice facilities, the fact that they do a lot of research, have good residency placements, the Genesis curriculum seemed to be extremely effective.
What impressed you negatively?
The anatomy lab was not that great (very small). The entering class size is 250! Wow. Also, the simulated patients were not that high tech, but they had a lot of them.
What are your general comments?
I enjoyed my interview. The city is a plus. I don't know how well the rotations are though in 3rd and 4th year. They say that they are good. Still finding out. The interview was laid back, I know everyone says this, but trust me! They want to know you more as a person. You would not be interviewing there if they didn't think you were a good fit already for their school. Good luck!
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None here, but I heard that some people have a lot of trouble with the admissions office. I didn't
