How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, my application, school brochure, talked to student host the night before

What impressed you positively?

the morning talk with the dean, the biopsychosocial approach to medicine, the fact that there is a distinct difference between Rochester grads and other doctors (as told to me by one of my interviewers - this has actually been scientifically studied!), just how happy all the students were, the pass/fail system for the first two years, and the early clinical exposure

What impressed you negatively?

nothing, really. I'm not too fond of the location, but I already knew that before I went for the interview

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

this website prepared me well for basically everything - no breakfast, lots of downtime

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a great day. My interview was over at 3, but I actually stayed until close to 4 just hanging out with the other interviewees. I wish Rochester were in a different location, because it has everything I'm looking for. The day was well-organized, and it's obvious that the students there are really happy.
