What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"WVU has three programs for the 3rd and 4th years which are barely mentioned on the website or in their paper info. One is in Morgantown, where the main school is located, one is in Charleston, and one is in the eastern panhandle of the state. The panhandle is very rural and community based, Morgantown is the only large hospital/academic medicine setting, and Charleston has hospital and community emphases. This info is difficult to come by, yet they get you to declare your decision while you are there for your interview! With a little prodding, the admissions secretary told us that people are always trying to switch into the Morgantown program and out of the other two - so when you get there, unless you're sure of one of the other programs, put down Morgantown, and you can always switch later if you want."
