What impressed you positively?

Cool curriculum (you can choose between an integrated lecture/small group or independent study).

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of construction (Is it just me or is every medical center in the country undergoing major renovations?). Way too much of an obsession with the Buckeyes...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be so many people from out of state interviewing. There were seriously more people from Utah than Ohio on my day.

What are your general comments?

Showed up at 10 but nothing really happened until 11 (they didn't give us breakfast, so make sure you pick up your coffee ahead of time) There were a series of presentations that everyone struggled to pretend they were paying attention to. We had lunch with first year students(gotta love Jimmy Johns) and then went on tours. Afterwards we found out when our interviews were - anywhere from immediately after the tour to an hour and a half later. The committee meets immediately afterwards to make decisions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
