What impressed you positively?

"Mrs Sullivan's long-winded, yet highly informative talk. They are honest about everything--even your chances of getting in." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"the facilities. Gtown costs $52,000 a year (after living expenses). For that kind of money I figured the labs would be nicer than my high school's.

What are your general comments?

"You get there in the morning and sit in the "Fish Bowl." (God only knows why they call it that--it has no more windows than a regular room!) Mrs. Sullivan talks for a looooong time. Remember: Dont fall asleep, theya re paying attention! Tour and lunch are brief, then its time for the dean to talk. After that, you get called out for your interview. At this point you either luck out or you dont. I got a 4th year, so I feel like I lucked out. Some will get the dean and other will get doctors....its a real crap shoot I guess, so good luck."
