What impressed you positively?

The staff and the interviewers were extremely nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The shuttle to take you from lake bluff station doesn't run early in the morning or early in the afternoon. So, after taking the train from downtown chicago to lake bluff (about 1 hour), I had to call for a cab to take me the remaining 4-5 miles (no, you can't walk it unless you plan on being late).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that I needed a cab to get to the school even after taking the train all the way out there.

What are your general comments?

Like I said, the staff and the interviewers were extremely nice and enthusiastic about the school. The school itself is almost completely new or renovated. Great facilities - a dozen or so simulation rooms have just been added. The campus, however, is rather isolated and there isn't much near there. You need a car. The student tour didn't impress me much. The student didn't seem particularly happy to be there, although she told me that was the case no matter what med school you went to. I didn't get that impression from students at other med schools. She also pointed out that most people hadn't chose to come to chicago med but rather this was the only school they had gotten into. On the up side, you can move into the city your 3rd and 4th year for your rotations. Overall, the school/facilities/professors are fine - just wish it was closer to the city.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
