"Cincinnati. There were sirens and screams all night outside my hotel one night. The food is not very imaginative as far as I can tell.

"I would have liked to speak with students other than our tour guides. I randomly talked to some students for a few minutes and asked them why they liked the school, and they didn't seem too enthusiastic about being there. Also, a lot of people I interviewed with were reapplicants and just wanted to get in SOMEWHERE. I also stayed at the Holmes Hotel, which is an inexpensive option, but also feels like I was staying as a patient at the hospital...it was kind of depressing so that and all of the construction across the street may have clouded my impression of the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"There was all this construction going on...but who cares, right?" More from this Member | Report Response

"One of my interviewers started off by saying that he had been doing this for 7 years and he would ask me questions that I would give the same answers that everyone else did and it would be very boring for him. He didn't seem interested at getting to know me at all. He asked some good questions about my research, but his attitude was bad. If my second faculty interviewer hadn't made the effort to get to know me, I would have felt like it was a total waste of time. Also, the interview weekend was way too long. They kept us out late all 3 nights (11pm, 2:30am, and 11pm). There was stuff going on all the time and I never actually had a chance to sit back and think about how I felt about the school. Way too much for one weekend." More from this Member | Report Response

"the construction going on around campus" More from this Member | Report Response

"Well, there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of construction going on, which means that much of the cool stuff they are building won't be ready for several years, and getting around campus isn't so easy with entrances and hallways being closed." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was raining, and i couldn't see the campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"didn't like the honor/high pass/pass/fail system. Wish that it was just pass/fail. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Some of the interviewers were stood up by their committee. One gentleman showed up for a 9 am interview and the person who was supposed to interview him was not there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That I didn't need to be so nervous - which is obviously easier said after the fact. They truly worked so hard to make us all comfortable, even when I was in the MMI stations. Another thing is to not waste your time reviewing hundreds of MMI scenarios. You can't anticipate what they'll ask you and I can tell you not one of the scenarios I reviewed was in my MMI. You also don't need to talk for the whole six minutes. Every station had follow-up questions for you to answer." More from this Member | Report Response

"Find more comfortable shoes because you'll be on your feet a lot. Also you don't need a notebook because they give you one and you can't take one into the MMI anyways. Finally, I wish I knew that I should relax more, a calm demeanor is an asset at an MMI." More from this Member | Report Response

"b/c of a snafu w/ the city's fire-coding, that the College of Medicine is unsure when the new buildings will open (could be as early as Oct 2007 or as late as Jan 2008); anyone over 90 percent gets Honors, and if not enough people do, they try to max the number of those who make Honors; admissions is delayed processing interviewees and will get back to us in more like 4 weeks (instead of 2 weeks)" More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing. SDN provided most info i needed" More from this Member | Report Response

"The class is almost full and may well be by the time my app goes to committee (in ~4 weeks they say). This means waitlist at best. The school's educational goals are much in line with my goals. I didn't realize they would be such a good fit." More from this Member | Report Response

"The construction is huge right now, and its hard to imagine the new facilities being completed and hassle-free in the near future. Also, interviews tend to expose weaknesses of an application instead of strengths, and I hadn't thought enough about how I would approach certain topics." More from this Member | Report Response

"Make sure you allot about 30 minutes if you have the early interview, to get to your interview's office, which MAY NOT BE in the college of medicine (MSB)... you will have to walk there and you don't want to be late" More from this Member | Report Response

"You need to get your parking validated before you leave the admissions office. Also, arrive early. You are expected to go find your interview location and be there at the time of your interview.

"That I had to walk outside to the research building where my interview was to be held." More from this Member | Report Response

"The directions are a little hard to follow. Check with mapquest, AAA, and any other online map service to make sure you get there. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Get there early - it took a long time to find a spot in the parking garage, and it's a decent walk from the garage to the admissions office. If you're way early, you can take the advantage of the extra time to chat with med students that are passing by." More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't know which parking garage to park in. I also didn't know that I could have scheduled my interview before all of the presentations." More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish I would have known that my interview date was on a day when both 1st and 2nd year students had exams. Understandably, the tour seemed very brief and there was not much time for questions. Couldn't really accurately guage how the students liked the school because they were all too busy getting ready for and taking exams." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I really loved my experience here. My interview group didn't go until near the end of the day (around 3:30PM when we had gotten there at 11AM) so that was a little bit stressful. Overall, it was a really relaxed day and a great chance to make connections." More from this Member | Report Response

"Honestly I was blown away by the school. Loved everything that I saw even though the interview stressed me out. Also even though they say they will call everyone with acceptances two weeks after the interview my group didn't get our calls for 3 weeks so don't worry if you haven't heard back in 2."

"Absolutely loved this schools" More from this Member | Report Response

"Pretty enjoyable, relaxing day." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day was 8 hours long. Come on. Detailed descriptions of every class we'll take over the next four years is not interview day material." More from this Member | Report Response

"It is such a great school. They have a lot of great faculty, hospitals, facilities and resources for students. What I really like about the school was the atmosphere. It is not overly competitive, but everyone still strives to do their best out of a sense of pride for going to UCCOM" More from this Member | Report Response

"MMI was not stressful at all. They do a great job of thoroughly explaining how and why the MMI works at the very start of the interview day. I liked having the MMI first thing so it was out of the way and I could focus on learning about the school afterward." More from this Member | Report Response

"I really enjoyed the school and the tour that they gave us and I look forward to hearing the results. Also the MMI is like a game so dont get too worried about it." More from this Member | Report Response

"This is an amazing school, and is absolutely my top choice." More from this Member | Report Response

"Looks like a well-run school with a rising reputation. When they change their curriculum and finish the renovations they have planned it will be pretty top-notch." More from this Member | Report Response

"OK, i'll try to make sense as much as possible. PPl have said it, dont bother to prepare and may be yes. But the questions still has things in it that it'll work to your advantage if you prepared. But dont prepare by using MMI questions online. Prepare with the questions that they had used in previous yrs. e.g something challenging in your life, how you'll balance cultural differences, etc." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall was pleasant...when you nail a question, I think they add more info to give the situation a little twist....don't study for this, because you can't. Good luck!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I liked the MMI a lot, very interesting and challenging." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview weekend is a bit of a marathon. The schedule for us was: Dinner Thursday night with current students. Friday: Information session and talks by program faculty followed by interviews with PSTP program faculty (2) and for the medical (seperate interview that doesn't matter for the PSTP) followed by dinner and a trip to a bar with current students. Saturday: Brunch with current students then interview with current students (2 at once) then a catered dinner with current students and faculty at a faculty member's house. Overall, the weekend is fun and not too stressful, and all the chances to talk to the current students and program faculty allowed me to get a great sense of the program." More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview was non-confrontational and very pleasant. it would have lasted only 15 minutes, but I made a point to bring up several aspects of my application that I felt needed to be addressed (weaknesses that were not mentioned, some of my most important strengths and why UC is the perfect fit for me) and turned my interview into a conversation. remember to sell yourself, and bring up each weakness in your app and what you did to overcome them." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a very pleasant experience. Everyone was very friendly and willing to help. My interviewers created a very relaxed environment which helped me to give the best and most genuine answers possible, and I honestly felt they wanted me to do well. The facilities in the school are still under construction, but the ones that are already in place are wonderful and they have great resources overall despite the work still being done on the school. All the faculty, staff and students seem to be very enthusiastic about their work and the school overall." More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview was not very positive (thick accent, impersonal interviewer, he answered his phone int he middle of the interview), but everything else was great" More from this Member | Report Response

"Fantastic. It was just like having a chat with a relative about what I've been up to in college. The only questions I was asked the whole time were ''I see youve done _________, tell me about that.''" More from this Member | Report Response

"Two more things to add: 1)Tour went through the anatomy lab, and the tour guide did in fact hand one of us a heart (thus the comment of the previous SDN poster about leaving your jacket in the admissions office so you won't get anything on it). 2) Interviewer said ''you can't just drop into a faculty member's office any time you want, you have to make an appointment, because they're busy.''" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day programming began at 11am and concluded at 1pm. Interviews were held before or after the programming. The dean of students begins with an overview of the application process and exactly what happens after the interview. Next we ate lunch from Bagel Boys. It was nothing special, but it wasn't bad. Then a faculty member explained the curriculum and answered questions. I really enjoyed the faculty member he was candid with his responses and clearly voiced his pros and cons of the curriculum. Finally a financial aid officer explained everything money related. After this it was off to my interview. The interview was very laid back. There were no probing questions or deep philosophical questions. Most of the time we discussed research and the different courses I had taken. Overall it was a relaxing afternoon and I really enjoyed my visit. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, it was a very positive experience. I was really impressed with the faculty and the interview, as it was basically an hour long conversation. They have some amazing facilities, and this school seems to really be on the rise." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a great day overall. The interview was mostly conversational, and didn't have any absurd ethical situations." More from this Member | Report Response

"Went by very quick because it was basically a friendly conversation. My interviewer did not ask the typical questions (why an M.D? ethical situations?) except maybe about stem cells. Talked about himself at the end of the interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a good time interviewing here, they did a good job explaining the steps afterwords from a final dec. to financial aid. hopefully i got in." More from this Member | Report Response

"My UC experience was fine, but not thrilling. I didn't get a lot of enthusiasm from anyone about the school, which concerns me. The dean that talked with us at the beginning seemed rushed, the financial aid person didn't crack a smile once, the tour guide was nice but not enthusiastic....just not all that exciting. My interview was good, but I'm not sure if my interviewer had read my file, as there was no mention of anything that my personal statement discussed. My biggest criticism, however, was that I only spoke with one student. " More from this Member | Report Response

"We arrived early and then had a short presentation on the school followed by a tour followed by a very poorly thrown together financial aid presentation.

"Exceptional" More from this Member | Report Response

"My preparation for the interviews paid off tremendously - knowing the ins and outs of my application and preparing answers for questions the interviewers might ask. It does not hurt to occasionally throw in interesting details. Essentially, come to the interviews with an agenda to get across: who you are. Don't just anticipate." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day was as relaxing as an interview day can be. I interviewed first in the morning, so I had the rest of the day to think about nothing else but learning about the school. My interviewer seemed critical, but I still felt like she understood who I am and will be able to represent me well." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great conversations with people doing interesting research. The student sets the tone of the interview- confidence and personability go a long way. I think I only had ONE question about medicine. The PSTP interviews are very research- focused." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nice day, student-led tour was the most informative I've been on so far, but the financial aid presentation was reeeeeeeeal tedious, the lady didn't seem like she wanted to be there. Other than that, the rest of the staff seemed real nice, Cincy seems real concerned about you being happy, making things easy for you whether you want to end up at their school or not."

"The visit was nice, even though I didn't have much time to tour the campus like I wanted to. There is alot of construction going on all over the campus, which may look bad, but that only means that the school is headed for bigger things. My undergraduate school is/was the same way so I'm used to it." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was definitely tough. The interviewer really controlled it and didn't let me go off too much. It was a little scripted in that he had a packet in front of him. In the first part he asked questions and wrote answers. in the second part, he turned the paper over to the blank side, and asked hypothetical/ethical/situational questions. In the third part, he turned the paper back over and asked me about why i wanted to attend UC. it was somewhat but not totally relaxed; the interviewer was definitely a friendly guy. they really nit pick details in your application, so be prepared for that. such as, "why were your sophomore year grades not as good" or "how did you study for your mcat" or "are you satisfied with each part of your mcat, even your verbal which is a couple points lower than the others?" and the situational questions are definitely tough. he kept saying, there is no right or wrong, i'm just trying to pick your brain."

There were three parts to the intervew: 1. Academic Experiences 2. Extracurricular Activities 3. Medical Ethics Questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"Upon arrival I was directed to my first interview which was decidedly more laid back and low stress than other interviews I have had. It seemed like the university was having some scheduling problems during the interview day. It was also strange having lunch at 11:00 while being given the financial aid presentation. The strange lunch time aside it was overall a pretty positive experience. I enjoyed what I saw and what I learned about the university and I wouldn't mind attending there."

"I interviewed with a very nice lady, who was well-prepared for my visit. Before I walked in, she studied my application from top and bottom and wrote down 4-5 pages of notes and questions. She told me that she will be presenting me to the committee and that her goal was to learn more about me so that she can make a strong case for me. We proceeded to some standard questions regarding my family background, personal attributes/qualifications, clinical experiences, educational background. After that, she asked some difficult ethical questions. Although difficult, these questions were very predictable so I didn't have much problems with them. My interview was supposed to go 60 minutes max. It ended up going over 85 minutes. I have to say, I was very fortunate. My interviewer cannot be any nicer and more supportive.

"I attended the Minority Recruitment Program, so it lasted 1.5 days. If you don't get invited to that, try to stay overnight and ask if you can see some of the things I mention. We met with a variety of docs, and got to see the sim lab and use the da vinci machine, so that was very cool. The interview was fine, low stress.The students mentioned that ethical questions were popular, but I didn't get one." More from this Member | Report Response

"They did a wonderful job giving turn by turn directions for arriving at the Dean's office where the presentations were held." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was high stress for me mostly because it was my first interview and I was nervous. She seemed to dwell on my GPA from undergrad (which sucked since I graduated 5 yrs ago). Overall, the questions were fast paced and I got the impression she wanted to make me feel uncomfortable to see how I handled pressure. Also she didn't seem too interested in my research and when I asked her about any opportunities for research she replied there wasn't much because I'd be too busy. This interview definitely did not feel "conversational," more like confrontational." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very low key, easy-going, direct and un-cheesy. The interviewer was NOT interested in my "onstage" self. She wanted to get a feel for who I really was. Excellent." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day started off with my interview. The interviews are with members of the faculty whose offices are located all over the building. The interview was conversational. The first half he asked me about my application, activities, grades etc. The second half he asked ethical and situational questions and wanted to hear what plays into my decision etc. Afterwards there was a presentation and lunch followed by a tour with students." More from this Member | Report Response

"It went by pretty fast. Someone walked into her office during the interview and she had to attend a phone call, so I'm guessing that's why it ended really early. She was really easy to talk to and the interview was conversational." More from this Member | Report Response

"OVERALL, MY EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT, INTERVEIWER WAS VERY LAID BACK. JUST WANTED TO GET DOWN TO THE NITTY GRITTY ON MY APPLICATION AND ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MIGHT HAVE. I WAS PLEASED TO FIND OUT THAT UCINN OFFERS ABOUT 350-390 ACCEPTANCES TO FILL 160 SLOTS AND TYPICALLY INTERVIEWS ABOUT 600 STUDENTS. THAT MEANS IF YOU INTERVIEW YOU ODDS ARE OVER 50% FOR GETTING AN ACCEPTANCE. PROBABLY BETTER THAN THAT IF YOUR IN STATE. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very positive. Of all the schools I've been to, this one impressed me the most, despite all the construction. The students were happy to be there and did things together outside of class. They have 98-99% pass rate on the first time boards. The US average is about 90-94%. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Everything went alright except for the actual interview. My interviewer didn't seem to really care. The interview only lasted about 15 minutes, and she took a few during the interview. She was an interesting person, but I just didn't get the sense that it meant much. Anyways, everything else went well, and I got a good look at the great medical school there. I was lucky enough to get accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone was very friendly. Many students in the halls greeted us and wished us luck. My interviewer really didn't really ask any tough questions. I almost felt like he had made his decision on me prior to even interviewing me. He answered any questions I had in MUCH more detail than I really needed." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview was extremely positive. It was much more conversational, and we spent half the time talking about UC, research, and the options that the school has. My interviewer made the situation laid back and put me at ease." More from this Member | Report Response

"I really liked cincy. It is a great school with a lot of hospitals surrounding it. The interview was laid back and he told me that he doesn't do confrontational interviews because then people clam up. It was nice and conversational. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't thnk I did too well in the interview. The healthcare reform funding question threw me off, and the interviewer stuck on that subject. Nevertheless, he was friendly and attentive most of the time. The lunch was pretty early (10:30 AM), and the presentations were nice. Even though I didn't think I did too well, I got accepted about a week and a half later. The assistant dean was also very friendly and helpful, and told us that there was usually a 2-3 week turnaround time for a decision." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a positive experience. I arrived when the other students were eating lunch. We were presented a powerpoint on the school and then financial aid. Then we got a tour by 2nd year medical students. Finally I had my interview with a professor in his office. My interview time was changed, and I didnt find out until 1:25pm. My interview was actually interrupted several times by phone calls which my interviewer had to answer, but it was because of personal issues that needed to be addressed immediately. I was not bothered by the interuptions once he explained why he was allowing them to occur." More from this Member | Report Response

He was a friendly guy who asked pertinent questions and was honest about my chances at acceptance; I don't know what problem the other person had. " More from this Member | Report Response

The interviewer just went through my application and then he essentially just wanted to know my thoughts about our current health care system. Just be yourself and you'll be fine. The interview flies by and is not too difficult. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview was pretty much a conversation. My interviewer pretty much asked about stuff from my app. He also took me through some ethical scenarios...but I know where I stand on certain issues and am not afraid to say so. (must have not hurt me because I was accepted!) Also, the area around the school is fine...people act like they never lived in a city before! Good luck! Don't stress! Be yourself!" More from this Member | Report Response

"my interviewer (a pathologist) was really dull and had no personality so it made it hard to guage how i was doing... it made the interview really nerve-racking for me because i had no clue is he was following what i was saying or not. the orientation was really informative though. the people in general were really nice."

"This was my first interview, so obviously I was nervous. My interviewer changed last minute (possibly due to the snow), so I interviewed with an MD from the Children's Hospital. But my interview was much more a conversation (which focused a lot on healthcare policy/ethics); still I learned a lot from the interviewer--very cool guy! The atmosphere in Cincinnati is very comfortable, and I hear that it's easy to live here. Many opps for research, teaching, education sounds solid." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was impressed, intervier mentioned above, also it seemed that the students enjoyed attending UC and there was a bond between classmates" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was laid back, but obviously it was an INTERVIEW for medical school, so it could only be so relaxed. The doctor was a great guy, and the questions he asked were predictable." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviewer was really nice and the interview was fairly laid back. I didn't feel that my interviewer was prepared for the interview--it didn't seem like he read over my application beforehand. In some ways that was nice because I felt he got to know more about me talking with me than going over things that are already in my application" More from this Member | Report Response

"The tour and interview all went rather normally. The people seemed friendly, and they have relatively new facilities for the medical students. The financial aid presentation however was very brief, and I couldn't make out what the woman was saying." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a great experience. I went into the interview a bit nervous, but the guy who interviewed me was so nice and he just wanted to get to know me better. It was more of a conversation than an interview, which was great!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was VERY laid back and ended up being like more of a conversation than a firing back and forth of questions and answers. I had a great time here and am seriously considering this school as a potential possibility. The children's hospital is great, so if you are considering Peds, this would be a great place to go. Dont stress... the interview was not stressful at all!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very disorganized day with not much flow to it. There was a long presentation of the schools cirriculum to start the day, followed by a tour of the facilities. My interview followed, the origonal interviewer didn't show up, so I had a replacement who was a really nice doctor in patho over at Children's Hospital (great place for peds if you're interested). The day was not great, but my other impressions of UC Med have been wonderful outside of the interview day. I live in Cincy and really ahve had positive experiences with it in the past."

"Just to correct something from my earlier interview feedback, UC does in fact have wireless internet access...the tour guides just didn't know about it!" More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviewer was not ready for the interview. She started to look at my file when we started to interview. But she was a very nice lady and didn't ask any difficult questions. I was impressed with UC by their curriculum and their clinical lab. So far the best state school I have seen. " More from this Member | Report Response

When checking in for the interviews the two students ahead of me did not even thank the person for directing them to their interview. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Excellent facilities, location and education. Don't be fooled by the area you SEE when you interview - yes, it's somewhat blighted. BUT the neighborhood behind the school (Clifton GAS LIGHT District) is as charming and highclass as Cincinnati gets!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview experience was GREAT. The students were great in showing us what the program was about. They gave us plenty of chances to ask questions about school, life, fun stuff. After the interviews, the students took us out for a night on the town. It was fun. It was the first interview that I had the chance to get down and boogie on the dance floor with some of the students!! (i hope dancing ability isn't part of the admission evaluations)But the program is strong, and the research here is very well funded. Facilities are nice." More from this Member | Report Response

"I interviewed with an very nice Ph.D. It was more of a conversation and she was very interested in my experiences during my year off, my family, and my interests outside of medicine." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was only stressed out because this was my first interview. However, my interviewer put me at ease and just wanted to get to know me as a person and my motivations for pursuing a career in medicine. I stressed out after the interview--but received an acceptance approximately 4 weeks later, so everything must have gone alright!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was very nervous because it was my first interview but there was really no reason to be. My interviewer was very easy to talk to and he never formally asked me questions. We basically had a nice conversation that lasted well over 1.5 hours. It felt like talking to an old friend. The students seem to really like the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviewer was very concerned about making sure prospective applicants know what they're getting into when they've chosen to pursue a career as a doctor. She had also read my application and said she was "trying to anticipate questions the admissions committee might have" so she could address them in her report to help me out; no idea if the other interviewers put as much thought into it, but it was nice. Lunch wasn't any good; make sure you eat breakfast. They definitely had a lot of elements I wish other schools I liked more had, but I was just simply not impressed by the students I met and the other kids there interviewing." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview was in the morning before the presentation and tour, but some people had afternoon interviews. My interviewer had my application in front of her and basically made many comments about it, mostly about my classes and a few of my activities. I was not asked any ethics or health care questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was good, I was late due to a traffic jam and my interviewer was nice enough to give me 35 more minutes to relax and get breakfast." More from this Member | Report Response

"The information sessions and tours were awesome. However, I was not impressed that my interviewer let a fellow colleague sit in on our conversation (as if I wasn't nervous enough already). Also, our interview was shorter than it was supposed to be and I felt pressured to stop asking questions of my interviewers about the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"my interview was fine, although i have a long standing personal bias against cincinnati as a city and couldn't shake it." More from this Member | Report Response

"I could even say I enjoyed the interview, because the information session was very helpful and the students were very friendly. The interview was also very laid back even though difficult questions were asked, basically they're there just to learn about you." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was honestly laid back. My interviewer was really nice and in a great mood. He seemed to be searching for questions to ask. After about 35-40 min. the interview was pretty much over and he asked me what I thought about the program and seemed to be highlighting the positives." More from this Member | Report Response

"The actual interview part is stressful, know your stuff especially your application! They will comment on your essays, grades, etc. As well as you knowledge of the world of medicine." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great!" More from this Member | Report Response

"This was one of the best interviews I had. I got along really well with my interviewer and we talked about everything under the sun . I'm sure that if I went to this school I would enjoy my four yeas of medical education. I am officially not using US News rankings in my decisions anymore - from facilities to people, I was more impressed here than at other "better" schools." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities at the University of Cincinnati are great. There are something like 5 hospitals in a mile radius. Not only that, but they are world renown for their research and treatments. The interview was a little more difficult than others because they probed into your motivation and willingness to sacrific a great deal. The morning consisted of lunch and an overview of the medical school setup. They where very nice, but at the same time rather distant. The interview was with a non-clinical faculty member, but others in the group did have practicing physicians. Overall they where rather impressive in regards to research and facilites as well as the general feeling of the campus. Good school, moderatly difficult interview."

"Honestly I can't think of any improvements you could make to the interview day. It took slightly longer to hear back than what we were told but that's how things go sometimes so it wasn't a big deal.
