"The students. Some of them were very nice and very motivated. However, during lunch, I sat next to an obnoxious md-phd student. That annoyed me. Snobbiness was in the air. During the student-led tour, the students gave me a horrible impression of the "Yale" curriculum. Mostly, they emphasized how easy it was. The school likes to point out that their curriculum is for really motivated students, but I did not get this from the students. It seems like it's for really lazy students, in fact. Also, no hard numbers were given for their board scores. I'm not saying all students are bad there, I think about half are great, but I think about half are not very motivated. I was left thinking, who let them in to med school??? Also, one student said the required thesis is "nothing to worry about." They seemed to minimize everything about their program. To summarize, their students basically told me that Yale is easy. Not exactly a good selling point. I did really enjoy talkint to the director of admission. He is fantastic. I don't think Yale has a bad program, but they certainly need to get their students to give the proper impression of it. " Report Response
