Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The med school is completely integrated with the undergraduate campus and students take classes in other schools, TA for undergrads, and are very much a part of the community. The campus is very nice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much around in terms of grocery stores, food, bars, things to do... The tuition increases by ~9,000 dollars from second year to third year! Two of the first years who came to talk to us said that they leave the school at 8pm, study until 2am! I don't know if this is the norm or if they are just crazy.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The METRA train station is very far away from the medical school! It seems like there is not much public transportation to the school, it's better to drive or take a cab. It's also very far from downtown Chicago itself.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The day was pretty relaxing and the interviewers were very nice. I had an interview with a 4th year med student first so that loosened me up a little and then another one with faculty in the afternoon. We got a tour in between, be prepared for a lot of walking, especially once it gets cold and windy.
