Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Happiness of students. Students are actively involved in the admissions committee as indicated by their involvement with intervewing applicants.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition in the fourth year for 12 months is over $60,000! Not much to do in Hyde Park--most of the entertainment stuff is in downtown.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Students raved about the pass/fail system. The patient population is relatively homogenous--primarily African American. There is a Hispanic population in Chicago but they appear to elsewhere for medical care.

What are your general comments?

Dean Lombard spends about 40 minutes talking about the school's unique history and how this influences that medical education Pritzker students receive. He's easy to talk to and he asks all interviewees the same three questions: 1) How has your application changed since you first submitted it? 2) What are you planning to do between now and matriculating into medical school? 3) Why did you apply to Pritzker? Priztker has three interviews: one faculty, one student, and one with Dean Lombard. I felt that the student interview was more of a chance for the student to sell the school to applicants. The day is well organized and you will know who you will interviewing when you arrive. If you are flying into Midway, take the 55 Garfield bus. It will cost you only $1.50 to get to campus.
