read NJMS website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and open the medical students were, and how personal the interview was. I felt that everyone was really making an effort to make me feel comfortable and want to come there.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is pretty ugly, and the facilities are relatively outdated compared with RWJ.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there were only going to be three of us at the tour - I guess I expected it to be much more formal! I would have dressed more comfortably...

What are your general comments?

The people are very chill and nice; I still got the impression that it was a 'safety' school for most people, and the curriculum was pretty standard.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
