What impressed you positively?

practice areas for procedures (pelvic, intubation, etc.) at springfield. awesome classrooms for pbl. physician "sponsor" for first 2 yrs.

What impressed you negatively?

first year at carbondale (as i've since found out, the housing there pretty much sucks. a lot of it is old and run down. undergrads seem to get the best first cause med students find out so late.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the first year is at carbondale

What are your general comments?

pretty much awesome interview. totally laid back. the one doc gave feedback on my chances. the office was great in letting you know timelines for acceptances. the small class (72 students) and pbl seem to make for good learning experiences. from what i've read, you don't spend time learning asinine things that you'll never need again because of pbl. i'm glad i was accepted here!
