Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

-The innovative curriculum that integrates basic science and clinical medicine--you learn how to do a complete physical/history by the end of 1st semester 1st year and your first clerkship is 2nd semester 1st year! (isn't that why we're in med school??!) Plus, they really try to provide as many different modes of teaching (i.e., PBL, lectures, small groups) as possible -Beautiful, brand-new medical school facilities with awesome classrooms specifically built for PBL -School provides funding for international research for all students -Responsiveness of the administration to student input (annual changes are made to courses based on student feedback) -Students were all incredibly happy/relaxed/outgoing/friendly -Excellent board scores -Elective humanities courses Can you tell I love the school?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Perhaps the weather (though I was there in the early fall so it was really nice then), but I'm also from the Northeast, so I don't think it will be that big of a deal.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That this school is progressive and a lot of what it does (integrated curriculum, biopsychosocial model) is emulated by other schools.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I love Rochester! This school absolutely blew me away for so many reasons (see below) and I would feel privileged to go here. Most importantly, I believe the school passionately cares about its students and wants to train them to be the best at whatever (academics, clinical practice) they do.
