What impressed you negatively?

"The area is not the best in the world and the facilities are a bit run down, but you have to realize that some of the buildings have been there for quite some time. They also really promote independent studying. A lot of schools tend to "baby" their med students, but apparently not so much at all over here. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I wish i read over my AMCAS application a little more so that i could repeat everything i did because they asked me in the interview to tell them all the volunteer activities that i did, and i didn't remember all of them. So i listed a few of them, but definitely forgot other ones. So knowing your AMCAS applications means being able to recite everything on it without hesitation." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Good experience in general. I was a bit confused about the schedule at first, but basically, for morning interviewers, you have your interview, then you have a small info. session with the dean of admissions, then a tour and a light lunch. For afternoon interviewers, you have your info. session, tour, lunch, and then your interview. But overall, the place was easy to find, when you're walking around the area, just look for the largest and most gothic-looking brown building, and that's King's Hospital. The Science center is right across the street from it and the admissions office is right inside. I just wish they could have given a tour of King's Hospital. " Report Response
