What impressed you positively?

The school believes strongly in its approach to med education, which I agree with. The

What impressed you negatively?

There was too much unstrutured time and not enough to do...the admissions lady sounded sad we all left once our interviewers were over, but how many med school classes and walking around can you do by yourself? I would have scheduled an early plane trip back! Also getting up at 6:00 after a late flight in made me very tired...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

See above...the interview day doesn't really last until 4:30 or whatever they tell you. You get there at 8:00 and the dean talks to you, then the financial aid lady, then you have free time until your interview, then lunch and tour, then more free time until your interview...no one finished later than 2:30/3:00 and some people were done at 1:00...and you have LOTS of unstructured time where you can attend class, walk around, etc...so it's not as intense as the times made it sound!

What are your general comments?

It was a good trip...not as AMAZING as I had imagined, but it was a very positive experience that confirmed what I already knew about the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
