What impressed you positively?

autonomy students have; Yale-at-large means you can take any class at Yale and don't have to pay for it; 5th year option (for research or a dual degree), the "grading" scheme

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I had major issues with trying to stay in Harkness. It's too much to type, but I would not trust the staff in the dorm to do their jobs properly. I ended up having to walk through New Haven at 9pm looking for a hotel.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the Hartford airport food options suck. also, there's nowhere to eat before the security checkpoint.

What are your general comments?

Despite logicistal issues, Yale is an amazing school. Their system is unique, and certainly one that appears to work. The independence students are given is great. The interviews I had, with a faculty member and a 4th year student, were entirely conversational, especially with the student-interviewer. It's entirely open-file, so they didn't ask much of anything relating to academic qualifications. The school is very much deserving of its reputation among the top med schools in the US.
