What impressed you positively?

"The students are really happy and tight, the campus is pretty and the med school building is nice, the student dorm is really nice (I'd be willing to overlook the unisex bathrooms), the flexible curriculum!!! The library and anatomy labs are also amazing--I couldn't even tell I was in the anatomy lab because they have special cadaver covers that suck the air from the room, keeping it odor free. The school also integrates technology quite well; there were laptops above the cadavers for student use! I also liked that students have a lot of afternoon time free during the week."

What impressed you negatively?

"New Haven isn't the safest city...other than that, nothing! !" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Nothing really....the "5th year cost-free" option only applies to people who want to do research, not to those who want to do a combined MD-MPH in five years (or any other combined degree program). Also, Dean Silverman keeps a roster of all the interviewees for the day along with some special "notes" from your application; don't be shocked if he kind of hints at what's in your application (extracurricular-wise, not grades or MCAT) in front of other applicants."
