How did you prepare for the interview?

Took books out of the library on the health care system in the US (indepth essays/articles/critiques/history of), read school's web site, SDN forums.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty is VERY involved with the students, students seem happy, great facilities: library, computer lab, anatomy labs. FUHS/CMS seems to be a tight knit community and everyone knows everyone else. My student host was VERY nice and her and her friends seemed happy with the school. I actually LIKE the location, because its in a nice quite suburb of Chicago, it feels safer than downtown Chicago.

What impressed you negatively?

There is no swimming pool and it would be nice if they had 'traditional' dorms to house students. One also realistically needs a car to get around the city, public transport is not all that convinient.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The experience was great! the faculty and students seem very nice and the school has some great facilities! I definetly want to go to FUHS/CMS after this experience and hope to complete my MD there :)
