What impressed you positively?

The amazing School of Medicine and Dentistry building and the curriculum that integrates clinical studies in the first two years. Also, scheduling sor this interview was much easier at this school than any other school I have visited. The secretary was great - she was very helpful with hotel and transportation questions.

What are your general comments?

The transportation to and from the airport, hotel, and school at Rochester is wonderful. It made the whole experience much more convenient. When I arrived at the school, I spilled Chai tea all over the front of me and the secretary was very sympathetic and helped me to wash it off. My first interview was LONG (~1 hour and 15 minutes). It was very conversational but there were some points, in retrospect, of strange questions. My second interview was between 45 minutes and 1 hour long. She was very friendly. We talked about her family, my family, and my hobbies mostly. Overall, Rochester seemed to be a very nice school.
