What impressed you positively?

Unique Curriculum. Only one year of basic science (very streamlined), the rotations in the second year, an entire year free for research or pursuing a joint degree in the third, elective in the last.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Though the students seemed happy to be at Duke, they did not seemed thrilled to be giving tours, fielding questions, etc. Perhaps it was the time of year.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was a lot of downtime during the day. We arrrived at 10, my first interview wasn't until 3.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interviews were very casual. The only thing that made one of the interviews a little more stressful than expected was that one of the interviewers was so quiet and spoke so slowly.... it was really hard to get a conversation rolling and to sense what type of impression you were making. I talked to a handful of people that also felt this way.
