What impressed you positively?

Everything. I loved Duke, the facilities and the students. Everyone was so laid back, the faculty we met were amazing, the campus is beyond gorgeous. trhe 3rd year is also awesome and i'm excited about the extra-early clinical exposure

What impressed you negatively?

Finaid presentation was a little bit cut-and-dry (kind of corny, but very informative...except the lady didn't really seem to want to help out too much.) Also, confusing to get around. I spent ~ 20 minutes just trying to locate the admissions office.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Duke's 60% grant to cover student's financial need...

What are your general comments?

Amazing day. Nothing was very stressful. I feel really good about it just b/c i was really able to talk about healthcare and ethical issues that mattered to me. I also had an interview with the asst director for admissions, and that interview was definitely a bit more stressful. But he was really nice - just the questions were a bit more pointed. They really, really stress ethics and leadership at this school. I'd attend in a heartbeat if I got so lucky...
