What impressed you positively?
Campus tour by student, students seemed very happy, new curriculum offers a lot of early clinical work and test grades were back up for school after a dip the first year of new curriculum.
What impressed you negatively?
Parkings bad. Economically, it seems the school is pushing away from student friendliness a little bit limiting some opportunities.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Didn't know till a week before that since I was only interviewing at Tucson, I had to do an interview with a local doctor as well. This second interview was EXTREMELY relaxed and was happy to have a chance to do it.
What are your general comments?
Love UA undergrad, from what I hear the med school is back on the rise after a couple rough years due to new dean (who is currently out and there is a newer dean). Location may be boring for some, lot of outdoor activities if you're into that; great campus feel and good weather.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Give more time between interviews and talks about fin aid. Some people didn't even get to finish the
