What impressed you positively?
The admissions staff is incredible. They do everything they can to help you in every possible way. Also, it's not really common to receive acceptance via a phone call, especially 72 hours after your interview.
What impressed you negatively?
Housing, especially for married couples. There just aren't a lot of places to live, and certainly aren't a lot of places to eat. The pro is that there are no distractions; the bad news is as a medical student, you sometimes need distractions.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That there was a good chance that my interview would be really short (and that there would be two interviewers at the same time). At the time, I thought the fact that my interview was so short was a bad thing, but it turned out not to be.
What are your general comments?
Admissions staff is great. The new building that's under construction looks really nice. If there was better housing, I would rank this school much higher.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
They were fantastic. They will work with you the best they can. They are very down-to-earth and understanding...certainly an anomaly in the medical school world.
